The Orlando Sentinel opined that "Stewart's mile-wide vibrato, rich tone and soulful phrasing are as affecting as ever." The Los Angeles Times said that "what defines Stewart's vision of country—beyond his signature spine-tingling vocal quaver—is his willingness to travel the highway of hurt, and face the pain of living here in the real world." Rolling Stone noted that "much of the material finds Stewart's quaver in its usual shot-and-beer setting (where his voice sounds like hands shaking after too much whiskey)". The Dallas Morning News stated that "Stewart's quivering voice, so fragile and steamy, is not a pretty thing... But then neither are the subjects he sings about: alcoholism, infidelity, sorrow and regret."
