Reception
David from auspOp said "First and foremost, there are far too many covers here" calling the album "a mixed bag." He said "Nothing new has been done to most of the tracks – most versions are competent but not innovative or particularly memorable" but praised "Amazing Grace". David said of the two originals; "Fallin'" is "a stunningly beautiful song" and "Then I Met You" "is Jess at her mid-tempo belter best."
Cameron Adams from Herald Sun said "Mauboy shines up The Church's haunting 'Under the Milky Way', Paul Kelly's 'Dumb Things' is solid pub rock karaoke. Mauboy fought for Goanna's 'Solid Rock' and it shows. The real joy here is 'Amazing Grace', sung in native tongue, with Dr G Yunupingu [...] As new original 'Fallin' ' demonstrates that's enough covers albums now, time for new material."
