For the first time, Cole has written on every one of the album's 12 tracks. [1] Cole said; "For me, every time I write songs it's a very cathartic experience, because I write about my life.

Aneta Grulichova from The Music AU said; "Banjos, guitars and incredible vocals are what listeners will find. Lyrically the album is engaging, telling the story of her journey through life; however some are very slow, though heartfelt. "Sweet Rebecca" is nostalgic as she compares her younger and older selves, while "Tea For Three" and "Broken Soldiers" are very moving. "Bumcrack" is an upbeat entertaining track – the title pretty much says it all. Cole is classic country, honest and with a sense of humour, though a few more upbeat songs would’ve been nice."
