Music shared an impassioned cover of Ray Charles' "Do I Ever Cross Your Mind" and called the album, "...a searching, tough and vulnerable memoir that bravely explores all the corners of heartbreak, from blunt-force anger to sorrow to brief winks of humor."
Billboard.com premiered the official video for "Too
Little Too Late."
Randy Lewis of The Los Angeles Times premiered the album in its entirety. "I hope that others who have gone through loss, who have gone through heartbreak — be it divorce, death or other forms of loss — will be able to connect with it," Young told the Times. "I'm not the only one to go through late-in-life divorce; I'm not the only one to suffer a major heartbreak. And I won't be the last."
The album was also featured in Entertainment Weekly, who shared the video for "Trying To Live My Life Without You," and Rolling Stone, who announced the album with a detailed feature by writer
David Browne.
