Reception

Working Bull said "It is very much a Troy Cassar-Daley sounding album, staying true to his sounds and his style of music we have all come to love. This album is composed of songs about reflection; some are deep and meaningful, there are also songs that are great easy listening around a fire but they all seem honest and are strong story telling in nature. This album paints a picture of Troy's life from childhood to young adult."[4]
