The New York Times deemed it Larkin's best album, and praised the "smoky, slightly weatherbeaten folk-pop voice that resonates with a plucky resignation and humor." The Orlando Sentinel determined that "the album's substance generally manages to keep up with its style, which is considerable."

AllMusic wrote that "Larkin continues the good fight, penning some fantastic tunes and delivering them with a fine blend of class and humor."
