Critical reception edit

Stephen Thomas Erlewine of AllMusic says that "Smith's appeal is how he seems like the guy next door but it's also his Achilles heel — he seems like any old good old boy who might cross your way, which is reason enough to like him, but there's no hook to make you remember him."[7]
