Critical reception

Dan McIntosh of Country Standard Time gave the album a mixed review, criticizing McAnally's "average" voice and the "routine-sounding production" while praising McAnally's "original and witty ideas". He also praised "Are Your Eyes Still Blue" as a "sort of modern day bluegrass plucker."[1] A review from Billboard was mixed, stating that the album "alternates between '70s -era pop/schlock and endearing contemporary country". The review praised "It Comes and Goes" and "You Ain't Seen Nothing Yet" and praised McAnally's "appealing" voice, but felt that some of the songs had weak lyrics.[2]
