Chuck Campbell from Knoxville News Sentinel wrote, "On the lilting and vibrant "Patience of Angels", she sings about a displaced soul searching for meaning in life amid feelings of anonymity (bottom line: most of us feel this way)."[3]
The promotional video features Reader singing on the top deck of a bus.[citation needed]
