Critical reception
In his review for AllMusic, Mark Deming called the album "a fine audio snapshot of Jimmy Webb the performer" and noted that "it's no small compliment to say he's nearly as good at singing and playing his songs as he is at writing them". Deming continued: "As one might imagine, Webb has some memorable tales to tell about his friendships with the likes of Frank Sinatra, Waylon Jennings, Rosemary Clooney and Harry Nilsson, while also sneaking in a few kind words about the still living Glen Campbell and Art Garfunkel. Webb's not a bad storyteller, but the real strength of this album comes when he sings; Webb's voice is in fine shape and he brings an intelligent and emotionally compelling sense of drama to songs like "Highwayman", "Wichita Lineman", and "Didn't We", lending a fresh perspective to songs most listeners probably know by heart. And while Webb is accompanied only by his own piano, his skills at the keyboard are estimable and he brings a wealth of tonal color to the songs, suggesting a real arrangement rather than a skeletal accompaniment."

The AllMusic website gave the album four out of five stars.
