are best known for, ''Til My Tears Roll Away'' also showcases a new-found rock edge to their sound." Greg Elliott from ''In Daily'' said "The Audreys' much-anticipated fourth album won't disappoint their fans" saying "The vocals, while melodic and beautiful, have a haunting, mournful edge which reflects the fact that the songs are often about unsuccessful love. The choruses are catchy and you soon find yourself singing along." In conclusion Elliot said "''Til My Tears Roll Away'' is quite an achievement, from the opening song, the tone of the album has a sense of loss and of love not running smoothly, but the essential underlying philosophy is 'that's how it goes' and, despite The Audreys' country-rock roots, there is less of an attitude of 'you done me wrong' and more of 'pick yourself up, carry on and keep strong'".
