Marty Guntar writing for Blues Blast Magazine described it as having a "superstar lineup" and that "the end product is head-and-shoulders her best", stating that he "Highly recommended" the album. [2]
Bill Brownlee writing for NPR in Kansas City wrote positively about the album, describing the songs as "sturdy" while praising Fish's guitar work and vocal strength.
