Critical reception

Thom Jurek of AllMusic rated the album three stars out of five, calling it "one solidly placed party anthem after another" but "strictly for contemporary country audiences." Country Weekly reviewer Jessica Phillips praised Butter and Crystal's vocals, but thought that the album lacked more serious songs to contrast the "unexceptional summer ditties." Her review gave it two-and-a-half stars out of five.
