Reception
Chris Willman of Entertainment Weekly gave the album a B rating and wrote, "Morgan's is an idealized Kind of Americana, to be sure. But at least he provides enough writerly detail to avoid setting off smarm alarms." Ralph Novak of People Magazine gave the album three and a half stars calling it "one terrific, old-fashioned country CD."Personnel
