Critical response
In his review for Allmusic, Bruce Eder gave the album four and a half out of five stars, calling it "a smooth, lively, sentimental, and occasionally even exciting album." Eder concluded that the album "shows off the romantic, the virtuoso, and the country sides of Campbell's persona about as well as any album he ever cut."
