Critical reception

AllMusic called the album "just as strong musically" as the debut, writing that it is "more laid-back, with a sound and delivery reminiscent of the well-crafted material on Dillard & Clark's The Fantastic Expedition of Dillard & Clark and Through the Morning, Through the Night."[2]
