Critical reception

A review from People was positive, stating that "Fueled by tongue-in-cheek lyrics...and Dave Gibson’s weathered tenor, their debut album conjures up freewheeling, fast-drinking honkytonk nights."{{cite journal|date=April 12, 1993|title=Picks and Pans Review: Where There's Smoke...|journal=People|url=http://people.com/archive/picks-and-pans-review-where-theres-smoke-vol-39-no-14/}}
