Jon Weisberger of Country Standard Time thought that Stockton had a "strong" voice, but said "Too many solid melodies and arrangements are betrayed by awkward, uninspired lyrics."[2] Jana Pendragon of Allmusic rated it three stars out of five, praising the singles but criticizing the label for not allowing Stockton to develop as an artist.[1]
