The Independentnegative[2]

Aaron Badgley from Allmusic lauded the album, calling it "honest", and "infinitely better than her debut" (incorrectly referring to Jewel).[1] In contrast, Andy Gill from The Independent gave the album a negative review, saying "Detroit's problem is one of over-abundant choice – she's a good guitarist, a good pianist, a good vocalist, a good harmonica player, and probably pretty nifty on bass and drums, too, but she needs more discipline as to their application."[2]
