Stephen Thomas Erlewine wrote that Smith "doesn't rely on any flashy tricks and is happy to sing whatever kind of tune comes his way" and "has a slight rasp in his pleading voice that helps give his songs a slight earthiness". Erlewine also felt that Smith "truly flourishes when he's singing an appealingly tacky combination of modern pop and retro-dance. He doesn't do that all the way through this lengthy debut, but he does it enough to distinguish himself from the po-faced likes of Bailey Zimmerman".[4] James Daykin of Entertainment Focus found "that by including so many tracks for consideration you aren't really presenting an album that creates a joined up narrative. There's no ebb and flow to the project as a whole", but if the listener wants "melodic, guitar orientated country pop/rock, Smith can deliver that in his sleep".[5] Soda Canter of Holler described the "album's subject matter [as] not straying far from what has already been established. Smith acts with tender vulnerability, one that showcases his desire to find joy in love. It's love, both of the self and others, that's demonstrated throughout the near-hour-and-a-half blues, pop and rock-infused country album".[6]
