His review praised "Cain's Blood" and "A Heart with 4 Wheel Drive" as the strongest tracks. "Entertainment Weekly" critic Alanna Nash gave the album a B-minus rating. In her review, she said that "they can be as hokey as the Oaks, but unlike the Statlers, they're sentimental without being mawkish."
