Writing for Allmusic, music critic Jeff Burger wrote of the album "For the most part, this 14th album is business as usual for Greg Brown, which is very good news indeed... Suffice it to say that once you've heard Brown's voice, you won't forget it. And while Brown once claimed he could sing Hank Williams songs with even more passion than he delivers his own, this terrific album makes a more passionate performance hard to imagine." [1]
