Jim Ridley of New Country magazine gave the album three stars out of five. His review compares Berry's "anthemic songs of passion and romance" to the works of Meat Loaf, citing "Every Time My Heart Calls Your Name" and "If I Had Any Pride Left at All" as standouts, but calling "There's No Cross That Love Won't Bear" "the most godawful four minutes of lachrymose drivel since[…]the last big social statement song."[1]

gollark: Oh, this is a good idea, yes.
gollark: Do you need some OTHER data structure?
gollark: Can this actually be done whatsoever?!
gollark: i.e. imagine you have some documents which say "bee" lots, and some which say "apio" lots, and you want to look up ones with "apio" and "bee", *without* just retrieving all the documents for each and computing the intersection.
gollark: So I know approximately how inverted index things work, but HOW the APIO FORM do you efficiently do intersectiony queries on them?
