The New York Times deemed it Larkin's best album, and praised the "smoky, slightly weatherbeaten folk-pop voice that resonates with a plucky resignation and humor."[12] The Orlando Sentinel determined that "the album's substance generally manages to keep up with its style, which is considerable."[11]

AllMusic wrote that "Larkin continues the good fight, penning some fantastic tunes and delivering them with a fine blend of class and humor."[10]
