Critical reception
Professional ratings Review scores Source Rating AllMusic [ 1]
AllMusic's review states, "There's a fairly high soul quotient here that puts Ketchum more in line with the likes of Jim Lauderdale (or at least Lee Roy Parnell ) than with any hat act."[ 1]
Rick Bell writes in his Country Standard Time review that, "Ketchum's latest is a solid effort."[ 2]
Kirsten Swanson of Variety writes, "With his Lucky Man CD released just two weeks ago, Hal Ketchum is hoping the timing is perfect for this country to be looking for an upbeat country album."[ 3]
Chet Flippo of MTV and CMT begins his review with, "Hal Ketchum's first album of new material in more than two years leads this week's new album releases."[ 4] [ 5]
