Critical reception

Daniel Cooper of New Country magazine gave the album 2.5 out of 5 stars, praising Camp's singing and production but criticizing his lyrics, saying that "there's nary a memorable line anywhere on the record."[1] Bobby Peacock of Roughstock was favorable when reviewing the album's 2010 release, praising Camp's lyrics while comparing the album's sound favorably to Marty Stuart and Dwight Yoakam.[2]
