Critical reception

Writing for Allmusic, music critic Mark Deming wrote "…if you want a potent reminder of just how good a songwriter Case is, and how well he can make his material work in the studio, this album offers the evidence in spades." Russell Hall of No Depression magazine reviewed the album and wrote "Case rarely comes off as strident; few singers are better than he at conveying a yearning, scruffy romanticism. Moreover, songs such as the rockabilly throwaway “Coulda Shoulda Woulda” show that sometimes Case is concerned with nothing more than having a good time."
