Critical reception

Rating it 4 out of 5 stars, Jan Walker of The Orlando Sentinel said that "there's a confident sound to each of the 10 songs on the album, a showcase for the seemingly effortless natural harmony of four sibling voices."[3] William Ruhlmann of AllMusic reviewed the album with favor as well, stating that "Already the possessors of a wonderful vocal harmony style, The Foresters hit a peak when they hooked up with writer/producer Wendy Waldman for this album, cutting her 'Letter Home' and other strong material".[4]
