Critical reception

Steve Baltin from Cash Box wrote, "Nova is a new singer/songwriter with a gift for words behind her Tom Petty-like rock riffs. Whereas most female singer/songwriters are being placed on Modern Rock outlets, Nova’s roots are in rock. Yet the crossover success of Jeff Buckley indicates that she will likely find acceptance from those outlets. A strong singer as well. Nova has made a memorable first impression."[1]

Music video

The accompanying music video for "Walk This World" was directed by Zack Snyder, and was filmed all around the world, while Heather plays her guitar and sings the song at the different locations.
