Reception

In his Allmusic review, critic Kelly McCartney wrote of the album "... every now and then comes the rare traditionalist with a twang and a swagger and a bucket full of heartache to sing about. Enter Sweethearts of the Rodeo... Beautiful Lies is a decent little record. Nothing terribly earth-shattering, but that's just fine."
