Critical reception

The Gazette wrote that "the choked country twang of Forbert's voice is what imparts life to this material." [4] The Toronto Star noted that "Forbert's still a rigidly stylized performer, still something of a follower and not an innovator ... and still terminally cute and adolescent." [5] Americana UK wrote, "Present within the songs are anger and bitterness but also hope and love with a unique philosophical twist that is uniquely Forbert." [6]
