Critical reception
Writing for BroadwayWorld, Amanda Prahl wrote "It's a shame that the album has these moments, because it really is a pleasant experience for the most part. Ball's love for the music is always evident, and his willingness to branch out into a different sound and into original sounds should be applauded. I only wish that the end results had been a little bit better-crafted. Ball deserves better - and so do fans."[2]
