Reception

Jeff Glorfeld of The Age observed, "it becomes evident she is serious about her music, showing classical influences such as Hank Williams and Loretta Lynn... The voice is rich if generic, and the songs are mostly from the honkytonk heartache, you-done-me-wrong perspective, which sounds a bit silly coming from this kid, but Britt's wry self-awareness makes it work. It's good fun."[5]

Comcast's Tim Noel felt "[it] may not be strong enough to share with your friends as far as an introduction to [Britt]. There is some strong material here such as 'Swingin' Door' and 'Poor Man's Pride', but it's filled with mediocre stuff that sounds like late 90s material... I know Britt has a more rocking side that should hopefully come out in her upcoming [album]."[6] Amazon.com editorial review includes, "an exquisitely crafted collection of powerful and moving songs, mostly written by Catherine."[7]
