Critical reception
Jeffrey B. Remz of Country Standard Time described the album as "pleasant enough sounding" and "usually maintain[ing] country sensibilities" although Remz said that it "produce[d] no surprises".[1] Allmusic critic Jack Leaver, who gave the album two-and-a-half stars out of five, called it "a mostly mellow set[…]that should appeal to the fans of the Dave Loggins-meets-John Berry school of country pop."[2] The San Antonio Express-News called it an "impressive debut".[3]
