Stephen Thomas Erlewine of Allmusic gave the album four out of five stars stating that there were "no knockouts" on the album but that it was Rimes' "strongest album yet",[2] while Entertainment Weekly gave the album a B- minus rating calling Rimes' vocals "creepy" but said it was "better news" that Rimes was " done making dance-pop records" while praising the songs "With You", "I Got It Bad", and "Something's Gotta Give" as "serious roll-the-windows-down country-radio fun" and stating that the Target exclusive bonus track "Afraid to Fall" is "dreamy" and that Rimes "quits acting like she's an adult and just is one...and the difference is joyfully clear."[3]
