Critical reception

Stephen Thomas Erlewine of AllMusic wrote that Crockett spent the latter half of the 2010s cranking out albums like he were "attempting to outrun a demon". He would go onto note The Valley does indeed bear the marks of memoir, containing songs about his hardscrabble childhood and colorful journey.
