Critical reception

Giving it 4 out of 5 stars, Stephen Thomas Erlewine of AllMusic wrote that " Old Dominion aren't ashamed that they provide music for romance and relaxation, and the fact that they don't seem to be trying quite so hard this third time around makes their eponymous album feel natural and, yes, more like themselves."[5]
