Slant Magazine
The last thing country music needs is another George Strait or Tim McGraw clone knockoff, so Rucker really does get considerable mileage out of the fact that he has such a strong presence on record.

It features songs with Rucker’s stamp and the polish of people who write every day for a living, combined with great players.

While this album features strong vocals from start to finish, the lyrics remain average and unremarkable
