MusicsearchUKwrote:"As a singer/songwriter, Nelson King could well be one of the best kept secrets around at the moment - his songs immediately putting him up there with people like Joseph Arthur and Micah P. Hinson - a singer/songwriter to cherish", while Glasswerks said,"You realize you've finally filled the space in the record collection between Blood on the Tracks and Harvest Moon".
