Reception

Writing for Allmusic, critic Brett Hartenbach wrote of the album "Smither never treats the songs as if they were museum pieces... There's not a false moment on the entire record. Highly recommended." Music critic Robert Christgau wrote of the album "...it's damn hard to make a consistently interesting album out of your voice and an acoustic guitar. Smither comes within a dud original and a few extraneous covers of bring it off..."
