[6] Bruce Eder of AllMusic said that the album "allow Orbison to open up vocally as never before, casting him in an almost operatic setting, in terms of emotional pitch, though the material itself is pure pop/rock with some elements of country-pop.

"The Loner" (co-authored by Adkins), "Maybe," "Breakin' Up Is Breakin' My Heart," "Time Changes Everything" and much of the rest here could have passed muster on any of Orbison's Monument albums, though some of the other songwriting and some of the stylistic choices are debatable.

"[7] Billboard magazine noted that the dramatic "Time Changed Everything" is exceptional while the rhythm groove "It Wasn't Very Long Ago" is a standout".

[10] Cashbox gave the album a positive review, saying that Orbison "sings the songs in a casual and relaxed manner"[11] Variety mentions "Many of theses tunes have melodic scope of the big pop ballads"[12] Record Mirror gave the album a positive review, saying that "This is My Land" is great, "A New Star" is gently swinging, & "Why Hurt The One" is near vocal perfection".
