Reception[edit]

Critical[edit]

AllMusic's Stephen Thomas Erlewine found the overall vibe of the album to be "warm and slow", and that the strength of the album is "its mellow assurance, to which Young adds a shade of gravity with his gravelly voice, a touch of down-home flair that never seems affected". He gave the album four out of five stars, calling it the strongest of his career so far.[1] In 2017, Billboard contributor Chuck Dauphin placed three tracks from the album on his top 10 list of Young's best songs: "Think of You" at number six, "Sober Saturday Night" at number eight and the title track at number ten.[4]
