Critical reception

Exclaim! wrote that "Fisher does have a pleasingly warm voice and a flair for melody, while the instrumentation and production work is solid."[1] No Depression called Fisher "a better derivative than most, with a lucent voice and an almost too-easy facility with melody."[3] The Washington Post wrote that the album "brim[s] with his jaunty, literate acoustic pop-folk."[5]
