  1. Los Angeles Times

    It's an unusually rich, solidly traditional country record with 17 songs, all written by Jackson, a first in his 18-year recording career.
  2. Rolling Stone
    60
    His finest songs are always his romantic ballads, and the best one here also sounds like the one he wrote the quickest.
  3. Village Voice
    30
    Jackson's songs don't seem uninflected so much as just plain skimpy, but their word-shy inertia suggests a sly detumescence that only the very successful can imagine, let alone turn to the service of their art.
