Guest musicians on the record include Grammy Award-winner Tim O’Brien and members of Ollabelle.

[1] Writing for Allmusic, critic Andy Whitman noted that there was no new ground covered by Smither but the album was still excellent.

The notion of finite time casts a shadow over all of these songs, in the sense that this is the only world we have, the only life we lead, the only love we’ll know, etc.

Let’s make our time on this planet count, not in the grand sense of destiny or history, but in terms of personal satisfaction...

While Smither’s lyrics and vocal delivery are in the forefront of the production, his excellent acoustic guitar playing should be noted.
