Critical reception edit

The Austin Chronicle called the album "an Americana gem."[5] Exclaim! wrote that it "shows yet another talented Texas troubadour bound for greatness."[6] The Houston Press called it "wordy and witty enough to impress the Americana snobs, but plenty country enough for the dancehall crowd."[7]
