Critical reception

Scott Fitzsimons from the The Music AU gave the album 3.5 out of 5 saying; "Storytelling is at the heart of any great country artist and Sara Storer is still a great storyteller. Lovegrass...comes after marriage and family life – experiences that are on this album's sleeve. She openly admits the title track is written for her husband and other cuts – "Come On Rain", "Heart & Sold", "You're My Everything" – can be attributed to that same family muse. Even when it's not about them, a romanticised Australian country life underpins everything here" adding "Storer doesn't need to prove anything on Lovegrass after the career she's had, and the break has given her a chance to choose the time and manner of her return. This feels right, it feels natural and it feels comfortable."

Katie Davern from Alt Media said "The stories are intimate and unique." adding "Lovegrass toes the line between folk and Storer’s distinctively Australian brand of country; the former finds a home nestled in the title track whose feel-good melodies intertwine to tell Storer’s own tale of a lover’s rejoice. "
