Billboard gave a positive review of the album. The review noted Tucker's change in genre from country and rock 'n' roll to a more MOR and adult contemporary pop sound, but went on to say that her "previous influences are [still] there." They praised Tucker's vocal performance as "strong and distinct" and the productions as "subtle enough" to allow Tucker's "unique persona" to come through. The review concluded by saying that the album maintains an "endearing roughness" and "hard edge" to keep it from completely "dissolving into commercial pop."[2]
