Critical reception
Bob Mersereau of CBC.ca gave the album a favourable review, calling it "everything you want in a best-of from a favourite artist." Mersereau wrote that "for a guy who grew up small-town, and lives on an Alberta ranch now, he doesn't push the cliche cowboy lyrics like so many of his Nashville peers, who own far fewer country credentials." He described the new songs as "a couple of strong love songs that move the country star just a little out of his comfort zone."[5]
