The Los Angeles Daily News wrote that "most of the cuts ... wistfully evoke the longing for lasting love—a topic the artist's masticating, caramel-and-chewing-tobacco vocals are sublimely suited to." [9] The Los Angeles Times praised the "eerily loping rendition of 'Mack the Knife', as utterly unexpected as it is deliciously different from the Louis Armstrong/Bobby Darin swing approach." [18] USA Today opined that "Gilmore's deliberative renderings are as engrossing as they are plaintive." [8] Rolling Stone deemed the album "a first-rate Gilmore collection, full of enchanted cognition, major emotions and pure Texas dust." [19]
The Washington Post concluded that "Gilmore has chosen bohemian numbers with gentle, beguiling melodies and lyrics that meditate on their subjects without ever judging them." [5] The Chicago Tribune determined that "the West Texas legend brings a strange beauty to everything he sings, his voice an otherworldly warble that echoes the pathos of Hank Williams and Jimmie Rodgers, while at the same time floating dream-like above it all." [20] Entertainment Weekly stated that Gilmore's "ethereal, oscillating tenor evokes the barren beauty of West Texas." [17] The Guardian wrote that "his spare, sinewy voice resonates like a high wind on the prairie, and on this evidence Gilmore has never been in better shape as writer, musician and picker of material."
