Reception

Richie Unterberger from AllMusic gave the album 3 out of 5 saying; "The pleasant folk-pop harmonic blend was seasoned by orchestration, including trombone, harpsichord, trumpet, clarinet, flute, and celeste. About half of the material was original, but Bruce Woodley penned a couple of interesting collaborations with Paul Simon ("Cloudy") and Tom Paxton ("Angeline Is Always Friday")."[3]
