This Can't Be My Life

In American Songwriter, Mike Berick gave this album three out of five stars, criticizing recurring themes and "the sense of sameness that slips into the listener’s mind during this set of 11 mainly mid-tempo soul-searching tracks", but calling out several tracks as "strong tunes".[1]
