Stephen Thomas Erlewine of AllMusic gave the album three and a half stars out of five saying,"McCreery has an easy touch -- where he used to lean into his influences on his ear lies records,he leans back now -- which gives these mellow,melodic tunes a gentle,welcoming feel." [7] Pip Ellwood-Hughes of Entertainment Focus wrote that the album's lyrics "cover the usual topics of trucks,romance and small towns" and that it "isn't a reinvention of the wheel but it's designed to hit McCreery's hardcore fanbase,which it will most definitely do."
