The album received positive reviews from critics. AllMusic's Stephen Thomas Erlewine wrote that the album showed the band moving away from their previous hard rock style to encompass a more mellow stance. Erlewine wrote that the few "rock signifiers" used by Daughtry were "in service to an album that is otherwise adult alternative easy listening."[6]
