Jeff Tamarkin of Allmusic rated the album 3.5 out of 5 stars, praising the prominence of vocal harmony, fiddle, and banjo in the production. [3] Dave Bagdade of Country Standard Time gave the album a positive review, calling the songs "well-constructed" while also noting the prominence of vocal harmony and describing the instrumental arrangements with favor. [4] Cathalena E. Burch of the Arizona Daily Star was also positive toward the band's sound, writing that the album "arrives with a warm and fuzzy feeling of familiarity. But just when you've accepted that this is a band like so many that came before it, Carolina Rain drops in something old that sounds new." [5]
