A review in MusicHound Country: The Essential Album Guide stated that the album "is just about everything that Nashvillians mistrust about Californians singing country and precious little of the things they value...The Park brothers display some impressive chops, but they use them on stuff like a double-time breakdown of The Kinks' 'You Really Got Me'." [2]
