The Chicago Tribune deemed the album "scary stuff indeed, filled with all the painful feelings that come from not fitting in, trying to be cool and acting like a jerk instead, and being used and abused by those closest to you."[7] In 1999, the St. Cloud Times wrote that it "wonderfully combines the ups and downs of small-town living with a good-time country bar sound."[8]
