Giving it three stars out of five, Stephen Thomas Erlewine of Allmusic thought that the album was an improvement over Moore's debut. He thought that the sound was "a leaner country rock" and said that it "packs a punch that carries through on the promise of Moore's braggadocio".[3] Dan MacIntosh of Roughstock gave the album one star out of five, referring to the album's lead single, "If Heaven Wasn't So Far Away," as "an exception to an otherwise classless effort." He found the record pandering and relying heavily on country stereotypes.[4]
