Critical reception


A Guardian 1997 review believed the album marked a significant departure from Young's previous albums. The album instrumentation was found to sound more akin to a Garth Brooks album than the output Young was best known for. Despite saying the album potentially had "all the ingredients for a first-class disaster" the review rated the album as "good" and awarded it a score of 3 out of 5.[4]
