Reception

Mark Deming of Allmusic gave the album a positive review, saying; "The 13 songs they wrote for this project are sublime, hitting their target with impressive skill. Whether they're trying to generate laughter, menace, or a pull on the heartstrings. Kasey Chambers and Shane Nicholson are two of the finest natural talents in country and folk music today need only listen to this to be convinced".[5]
