Writing for Allmusic, music critic Mark Deming wrote of the album "While in many respects Alvin is still best described as a songwriter who sings, he knows how to tell a story, and he's picked some great ones for this album."^[1] Dan MacIntosh of PopMatters wrote "Downsides are difficult to find with this new work, because Alvin performs each and every track with an obvious appreciation for the artists who wrote them."^[3]
