Critical reception

Brian Mansfield of Allmusic gave the album three stars out of five, saying that "some of Tippin's song choices were hillbilly silly."[1] Mike Greenblatt of Modern Screen's Country Music gave a mostly-favorable review, saying that the album showed a sense of artistic growth over his first two discs, making note of Tippin's "one-of-a-kind, elastic voice" but referring to "Whole Lotta Love on the Line" as being "in that netherworld of benign country fluff."[2]
