AllMusic[10]
Los Angeles Times[11]

The Los Angeles Times wrote that "there's modest warmth rather than roaring fire from the Eagles' bassist, whose first solo album in 11 years is steeped in '70s R&B- tinged classic rock a' la you know who."[11] The Birmingham Mail called the album "easy on the ear, country-flavoured soft-rock which sounds great on the open road with the top down and the wind in your hair."[12] The Sacramento Bee deemed it "a solid showcase for Schmit's musical talents, from svelte vocal harmonies to polished songwriting."[9]
