Critical reception
Giving it 3 out of 5 stars, Stephen Thomas Erlewine of AllMusic wrote that "Sonically, the songs from the sixth and seventh EPs intertwine nicely — it's all bright and cheerful, sounding warm and open-hearted even in the shadow of the production's excessive gleam — but, appropriately enough, all the new songs find Bryan looking back over his shoulder at all the fun he's had over the years… Nevertheless, it's those five songs [from the five-song version] that provide a nice farewell to Bryan's time as the ringleader of Spring Break, and it's good to see that he's chosen to bring this era to a tidy close instead of letting it slip into memory." Bob Paxman of Country Weekly rated the album "C+", saying that "There is nothing remotely timeless about them…the songs are meant to speak to the moment, and the lyrics…reflect that." He thought that "Games" was the only song that "has any real meat to it", and praised the production, "which allows Luke plenty of space to operate."
