Their playing is clean and crisp, and the vocals exude a bold confidence. The hit title track is a compelling reggae-country meld that's one of the more interesting and long-wearing country-rock hits of its period.

Other highlights include the acoustic country ballad a major change of pace for this band with some clever lyrical conceits; the ultra-funky (which manages to work in a quote from ), and the soulful rocker which became a key part of the group's concert sets. The only drawback is that the group didn't quite have enough material to cover a whole album here, and also they're a little too loose compared with their live performances, as on .
