William Ruhlmann of AllMusic thought "Their conception seems to have been to create a Roy Orbison album in the singer/songwriter's classic early-'60s style. For that, Kennedy has brought in outside songwriters Larry Gatlin ("Circle") and Bud Reneau ("All I Need Is Time") to contribute big, melodramatic ballads like the ones that gave Orbison big hits in his commercial heyday."

Billboard in its Top Country Album Picks reviews stated that the album "features a collection of lonely love songs in a new Orbison style."

Ellis Amburn described the album as "Disappointing"
