William Ruhlmann of AllMusic noted that the "album is not billed as a 'best-of'", and concluded that it was instead "the rest of Shelby Lynne."

The Los Angeles Times advised that listeners avoid the album "until [they] know exactly what's involved", and explained that the majority of its content is from the era in which Lynne "wasn’t allowed to pursue her musical instincts [when recording]. Instead she was encouraged to make records in a radio-friendly country style."

Country Standard Time stated that the album's "eclecticism" demonstrates why Lynne "has always been a marketing person's nightmare", while emphasizing that "as a singer, she's rarely a let down to anybody".
