Lucy Barber-Hancock from Renowned for Sound said: "It's a powerful recording which emphasise's Reyne's sheer talent not only as a vocalist, but as an entertainer." adding "The album is expertly arranged, with a clear sense of rise and fall throughout." Barber-Hancock was critical of "his banter with the audience [which at times] veers into self-indulgence".
