Critical reception

[edit]

Patrick Davitt of The Leader-Post (Regina, Saskatchewan) rated the album 3 out of 5 stars. The reviewer felt that "It Won't Be Over You" was a "hard, bright highlight", while comparing "Drivin' and Cryin'" favorably to the Eagles, as well as the "simpler country tunes" of "(You Could Always) Come Back" and "The Same Mistake Again". He criticized the "unbearably thick and heavy choruses" of "Missing You" and "Married to a Memory", but praised "Sails" as a "pretty" song.[1]
