It was released on Mighty Albert, a new imprint established for him on Signature. Guest musicians on the record include Grammy Award-winner Tim O’Brien and members of Ollabelle. The song, "Origin of Species" was named #42 on Rolling Stone Magazine's list of 100 Best Songs of the Year 2006.[1] Reception{{Album ratings| rev1 =Allmusic | rev1Score = {{Rating|4|5}} [2] | rev2 =Robert Christgau | rev2Score = [3] | rev3 = PopMatters | rev3Score = {{Rating|7|10}} [4] }} Writing for Allmusic, critic Andy Whitman noted that there was no new ground covered by Smither but the album was still excellent. He wrote of the album "He's not flashy, but he plays exactly what fits each song... This very fine release is proof, if any is needed, that the light is still on, and shining very brightly."[2] Music critic Robert Christgau gave the album a two-star honorable mention.[3] Steve Horowitz of PopMatters gave the album a 7 of 10-star rating, writing "Smither mines this territory again with much success on his latest album, Leave the Light On. The eight original tunes and four covers span a wide range of topics and moods... The notion of finite time casts a shadow over all of these songs, in the sense that this is the only world we have, the only life we lead, the only love we’ll know, etc. Let’s make our time on this planet count, not in the grand sense of destiny or history, but in terms of personal satisfaction... While Smither’s lyrics and vocal delivery are in the forefront of the production, his excellent acoustic guitar playing should be noted. Producer David Goodrich keeps the strings sounding clear and bright. His songs, his singing, and his playing make this a wonderful acoustic folk and blues album."[4] Track listingAll songs by Chris Smither unless otherwise noted.
