Critical reception

Roch Parisien of Allmusic wrote that "I honestly can't say that anything here improves on last year's debut...But if the idea of Bread with pedal steel meets the quieter side of The Desert Rose Band appeals to you..."[2] Entertainment Weekly critic Alanna Nash rated the album "F", writing that "Imagine if three of the blandest pretenders to the country-music throne formed a band to record covers of past hits and write instantly forgettable country-pop radio fare."[3]
