The Austin Chronicle wrote that "there are songs built from the basic beginnings of an acoustic guitar and the singer singing sweetly that end in a near roar, while other tunes lead a chorus of whistlers through a pleasant bit of sentimentality and later, even a lush string section."[7] Exclaim! thought that "all 13 tracks of the bright, airy, jangle pop have a rootsy edge and are full of memorable hooks."[8] The Boston Globe wrote that the "singer-guitarist keeps her wry edge for most of the 13 songs on her self-produced album, rarely lapsing into the too sweet, too poignant, or too gooey."[9]
