Reception

Critical

AllMusic's Stephen Thomas Erlewine found the overall vibe of the album to be "warm and slow", and that the strength of the album is "its mellow assurance, to which Young adds a shade of gravity with his gravelly voice, a touch of down-home flair that never seems affected". He gave the album four out of five stars, calling it the strongest of his career so far. In 2017, Billboard contributor Chuck Dauphin placed three tracks from the album on his top 10 list of Young's best songs: "Think of You" at number six, "Sober Saturday Night" at number eight and the title track at number ten.[3]
