No Depression wrote that "her voice and person completely dominate, and even when the literary lyrics border on being sappy or overly articulate, the sheer force of Cash’s persona makes it work."[7] Entertainment Weekly determined that "unlike, say, Bruce Springsteen, she knows that bare-bones doesn’t mean tuneless ... Demo's spare arrangements reinforce the sturdiness of her melodies."[8]
