"Scare Easy" was described as "full of the tones and lyrics of the mid-1970s, but the tight harmonies come from musicians who have matured."
The song can also be heard over the end credits of the film Appaloosa (2008), a Western directed and starring Ed Harris and co-starring Viggo Mortensen and Renée Zellweger. "Scare Easy" does not appear on the official soundtrack for the film.
