Critical reception
[edit]With respect to title track "Learn the Hard Way", 97.3 The Eagle states that "The Louisiana native’s signature vocals bring warmth and comfort to a delicate instrumental backdrop, as he flips the script and faces heartbreak for once", going on to say that "This time, instead of being the one to break the heart, like his character usually does, he getting left with the pain of someone else leaving".[3]
When referring to "Bar None", The Garnette Report indicated "The song opens with a breezy rhythm and the all-too-familiar acoustic strings institute the country backdrop" and that "Constant bass and sparky drums complement Davis’s rich vocals, adding vibrancy while emphasizing the singer’s romantic angst".[4]
