Critical reception

[edit]

Nicole Piering of Country Swag stated that "While Scott can do a party anthem with the best of them as evidenced on tracks like 'Amen to That' and 'Nothing to Do Town,' he shines when he's showing his softer side" and that "This is endlessly apparent on songs like 'Can't Have Mine,' 'Boy I Was Back Then,' 'Lay Down with You' and 'Tough'".[3]

Paul Sammon of Six Shooter Country said: "Very much a country pop album with a tinge of Bro Country thrown in for good measure. But there’s also an element of Bible Belt, too. Something for everyone, I guess."[4]
