Critical reception

No Depression wrote that "Frost’s unpolished but beautifully tuneful voice elegantly shifts through the stylistic changes, which in turn are effortlessly navigated by Chicago-area players including Rick Rizzo and Archer Prewitt." [5] Exclaim! wrote: "Chicagoan Edith Frost's third album continues the path of heart-wrenching, introspective and beautiful songwriting, backed with simple, spare arrangements and her haunting, hint-of-twang voice." [6] The Washington Post thought that "Frost's old-timey songs can sound like genre exercises, but the best of these tunes – whether the lively 'Cars and Parties' or the unhurried 'You're Decided' – are specific and personal." [7]
