Critical reception
Rating the album a four out of five at The Phantom Tollbooth, Janet Friesen states, "Andrew Peterson's music moves like a breath of fresh air weaving acoustical patterns with guitars, strings, tin whistles, and hammer dulcimars." Catherine E. Francis, giving the album a nine out of ten for Cross Rhythms, writes, "this set gives you 10 tracks of folk and country-tinged acoustic pop that is very easy on the ears."
