Critical reception

Bruce Eder of AllMusic said that the album "showed [Nelson], displaying more confidence than he'd had since the mid-1960s, delved not only into some achingly beautiful corners of country-rock, but also harder rocking territory and also more soul and funk-oriented sounds than anyone believed possible."[8]

Rolling Stone gave the album a mostly positive review, praising two of Nelson's contributions, "Lifestream" and "Someone to Love."[9]
