Reception
William Ruhlmann of AllMusic thought "Their conception seems to have been to create a Roy Orbison album in the singer/songwriter's classic early-'60s style. For that, Kennedy has brought in outside songwriters Larry Gatlin ("Circle") and Bud Reneau ("All I Need Is Time") to contribute big, melodramatic ballads like the ones that gave Orbison big hits in his commercial heyday."[4]
Billboard in its Top Country Album Picks reviews stated that the album "features a collection of lonely love songs in a new Orbison style."[5]
Ellis Amburn described the album as "Disappointing"[2]
