Critical reception edit

Dan Williams of Country Standard Time concludes his review with, "This is sturdy and consistently listenable - an honest record that serves as a welcome antidote to the many freeze-dried ingenues spilling out of Music Row of late."[2]

Eric Thom of Exclaim writes, "Nashville’s most in-demand session fiddle player not only unleashes her seasoned songwriting ability on this release, but she’ll lay your soul to waste with her angelic singing voice as well."[3]
