Reception[edit]

Writing for Texas Music Pickers, Chris Fox concluded that the album is "true southern rock without trying to be – it’s authentic, which seems like such a hard thing for artists to accomplish these days."[2] In his review for Louder Than War, Dave Jennings stated that the album "features a fine blend of country, blues, rock and touches of gospel and is evidence of a band that is clearly going places."[3]
