Critical reception
Steven Wine of Associated Press wrote that Batiste "opts for a surprisingly intimate sound" on the album, with "stripped-down, mostly acoustic arrangements create a chill vibe. Simplicity somehow only intensifies the songs’ swing and sway" in which " lyrics about devotion, values, angels and ecology with music that mixes folk and funk, gospel and the blues", prising the duets with Andra Day and Randy Newman.[11]
