Indicating in a four star review by CCM Magazine, Andy Argyrakis describes, "It’s all perfect for a backyard bonfire, front porch swing or intimate gathering amongst close friends, though it’s sure to sound just as sweet pumping out a dashboard radio."[4] In another positive review, Matt Bjorke of Roughstock calls it "a fantastic album."[5]
