Critical reception

Cdbaby.com gave the album a brief review, stating, "Well. Leslie has now written a country craft album. The cd starts with the dance hits but moves to a lonely- folk child. Who's Iowa isolation has lead [sic] to lots of yearning and zero burning. Mostly about loves lost and loves desired." They finished their review by describing the cd as "bizarre."
