Critical reception
AllMusic editor Andy Kellman called the album "as pleasing and upbeat as any solo work that preceded it. Wilson might be short on ideas for album titles, but uplifting love songs – many of which were made with wife Mahin Wilson and producer Greg Pagani – continue to flow, and the singer's voice remains an energizing force [...] Cynics could take it all as relying upon past glories, but the material is too fresh-sounding, too joyous, to disregard."
Commercial performance The album debuted at number 17 on the Billboard 200, selling 25,000 copies.
Track listing
