The New York Times wrote that "King good-naturedly dishes out humanitarian truisms like chicken soup."[5] The Globe and Mail noted that "the band of folk-jazz musicians she has assembled around her is Nashville and California perfect," but deemed the album a "likeable, although undistinguished collection of songs."[6]
