The Miami New Times praised the "soaring harmonies and searing guitar solos that refuse to fall into cliche," writing that "Thomasson's vocals sound as potent and full of meaning as ever."[7]
AllMusic wrote that the album "manages to be an impressively lean and rockin' album—cut directly from the unmistakable Southern rock cloth."[6]
