| PopMatters | [5] |
American Songwriter rated the album four out of five, describing it as "a sparse, precise collection of fine-tuned acoustic folk, complete with note-perfect instrumentation, warm three-part harmonies and deft songwriting from the trio of triple-threat singer-songwriter-multi-instrumentalists."[1] PopMatters gave it a rating of nine out of ten, stating "The pervasive influence of folk and bluegrass is evident without feeling overt, giving the record sense of unity between introspective songwriting and instrumental prowess."[5] AllMusic noted, "This is an album that doesn't hurry. It follows the contours of a soft breeze, sometimes picking up a little bit of momentum, but generally swaying and holding still."[3] The Independent rated the album three stars.[4]
