Critical reception

No Depression wrote that "the songs lean toward folk modesty: quiet strumming, clusters of piano notes laid out like building blocks."^[3] PopMatters wrote: "Singer-songwriter aficionados will undoubtedly find Jennings' contemplations of falling in love, falling out of love, and falling in love again, satisfying. Others will be content to keep playing the same 10 singer-songwriter albums they already own."^[1]
