Critical reception edit
The Gazette wrote that "the choked country twang of Forbert's voice is what imparts life to this material."[4] The Toronto Star noted that "Forbert's still a rigidly stylized performer, still something of a follower and not an innovator ... and still terminally cute and adolescent."[5]
