The Orlando Sentinel wrote: "Nelson's off-hand vocal phrasing is one part of his distinctive talent. But on most of these tracks, that delivery sounds merely disinterested."[5] The Ottawa Citizen concluded that "the laid-back tone of his recent albums gives way to a practically comatose feel."[7] The Philadelphia Inquirer praised the "slow, lovely, almost frighteningly heartfelt version of 'When I Dream'."[6]
