Critical reception

Jeffrey B. Remz of Country Standard Time gave a mostly-favorable review. His review praised Marcel's singing and the lyrics, saying that "Marcel also deserves credit for co-writing all 13 songs. No filler, all meat on them lyrically and musically, and he shows a sense of humor as well." although he was critical of the "bright and loud" production. Matt Bjorke of About.com gave a favorable review, saying that it was "diverse and different than what is currently played on country radio."
