Thom Jurek at AllMusic praises "her literate American gothic songs about wasted lives, desolate characters who roam the highways like ghosts, shattered dreams, and frustrated expectations."
Jon Lusk's BBC review liked "her searing honesty, gift for gritty stories and willingness to acknowledge the darker side of life, without fear."
