Their album was met with mixed reception. Peter Margasak of Chicago Reader wrote that "musically they don't show much more spunk. Their singing...is no match for their mother's, but they're certainly not alone there....most of the material is typical Nashville mush: weepy ballads and tame, predictable rockers."[5] Jason Ankeny of AllMusic praised the duo's "powerful voices" but criticized the "formulaic production".[6]
