Critical reception

Stephen Thomas Erlewine of AllMusic gave the album 4 stars out of 5, saying: "At its core, it's a collection of country and cowboy tunes, much like the work he did with Nancy Sinatra, but the production is cinematic and psychedelic, creating a druggy, discombobulated sound like no other."
