Music critic Brett Hartenbach of Allmusic called the album "smart, tight, [and] insightful" and wrote "To some, his persistent morality may come across as being a bit cold or even self-righteous, but further investigation reveals an underlying empathy for the individuals, even if a cynicism for the times in which they live is expressed. And if Burnett may seem tough, don't think he excludes himself from the same scrutiny." [3]
All songs written by T Bone Burnett, except where noted.
