Critical reception

Giving it three out of five stars, Stephen Thomas Erlewine of AllMusic wrote that "it's an album designed to be played on lazy Sunday afternoons, on long drives, and doing housework, a soundtrack to everyday life. As such, it can veer toward background music, but it's enlivened by the chemistry between McGraw and Hill."^[10]
