Country Weekly reviewer Jessica Phillips gave the album three-and-a-half stars out of five, saying that Kennon showed a "rocker-with-a-cause image" and had a "distinctive voice," but thought that Kennon's singing "overwhelm[ed]" the song "Then There Was You."[2] Bobby Peacock of Roughstock gave it a five-star rating, comparing it to Jeffrey Steele's solo albums in sound, also praising Kennon's "gritty vocals" and the songwriting.[3]
