Reception

The album received strong critical reviews. AllMusic wrote that Nichols fit the pieces of rhythm and blues and country and western together in a new and fresh way.[5] KEXP.org, the radio station of the Experience Music Project, said: "Nichols and his sweetly soulful songs are the deserved focus here, and this rich, subtle gem is one of the year's best albums."[6] The Memphis Flyer called it "an earthy, organic album that belied [Nichols's] roots in alt-country music while revealing his adventurous spirit."[7]

The record sold poorly. Nichols was dropped from the label and the album was withdrawn after only a short release in North America.[8]
