Critical reception

Stephen Thomas Erlewine of Allmusic gave the album four-and-a-half stars out of five, saying that it was "well-crafted, built upon a strong set of songs, and it pulls off the nifty trick of being classic Nashville product yet fresh and vibrant, due to Fairchild's consistently engaging performances."[1] Entertainment Weekly critic Chris Willman rated it B+, describing the album's sound as "skirting the virtually bygone line between country and Southern rock" and commending Fairchild's vocal performance on "Kiss Me."[2] Jeffrey B. Remz of Country Standard Time also praised Fairchild's vocals, but criticized the production of some tracks for being "too polished."[3]
