"Usually, McBryde personalizes heartland rock and roadhouse country, finding a beating, quivering heart within anthems designed for the open road. Emotions come to the forefront on the quieter moments, whether it's the small-scale aspirations of "Sparrow" or the sorrow of "Stone." Those songs are melancholy grace notes on an album that's otherwise strikingly open-hearted and resilient, proof that McBryde is broadening her horizons while deepening her core humanistic strengths as a writer and performer".
