William Ruhlmann of Allmusic rated the album 3.5 out of 5 stars, saying that it was "a fairly typical piece of Nashville product. Decked out in the de rigueur cowboy hat, the West Texas native sings in a matter-of-fact low tenor...but his voice is an efficient delivery device for the songs, which are played in what passes for standard country in the early 21st century".[1] Ray Waddell of Billboard was favorable, praising Willmon's "sturdy baritone" and the "mixture of lightweight but fun party cuts...and well-drawn heartfelt fare".[2]
