Kevin Ransom of Guitar Player called the record "a tough-minded three-guitar country-rock showcase that uses The Byrds and Buffalo Springfield as musical touchstones."[1]

| AllMusic |   [2] |
| Robert Christgau | A-[3] |
Chip Renner of AllMusic writes, "From start to finish, there is something special about this CD." He finishes his review with, "They rock, with some real killer slide-guitar work. If you like your country hard, you'll love it."[2]
Robert Christgau gives the album an A− and says, "the catch in her voice has gotten so husky you want to give her a squeeze, and she writes more good songs about the usual thing than any of the young hunks who've given Nashville delusions of grandeur."[3]
On this album, Musician reviewer Peter Cronin noted, "Flores is playing more guitar and writing better songs than on her ill-fated Warner Bros., debut. Most importantly, the singer sounds like she's having a blast."[4]
