Bruce Eder on Allmusic.com gave this album three and a half stars out of five. He was critical of Davis' low-key performance but stated, "the singing in a reflective, almost introspective manner is good enough to carry the entertainment load."[3]

gollark: Indeed. There's not *that much* of it.
gollark: Politicians are somewhat bad, but if people weren't blindly anti-nuclear we probably would end up with more nuclear power.
gollark: Also problematic regulatory stuff apparently makes it hard for new designs to be tried.
