In his review for MSN Music, music critic Robert Christgau cited "Lay Your Head Down" and "It Ain't No Crime" as highlights and quipped that it was "music to pretend you're having sophisticated casual sex to, only remember -- you're not actually that sophisticated".[10] Other reviews were more positive; NPR called the album "gorgeous."[11]
