Critical reception
Giving it a "B", Alanna Nash of Entertainment Weekly wrote that "the band offers a kicky program of country-rock, bluegrass, Texas swing, Louisiana spice, honky-tonk, and jazzy 'dawg' music…Little of this is combined into a cohesive sound, but whatever Wild Rose is, it's never boring."[3]
