Roughstock critic Matt Bjorke called it a "sweet, laid-back and romantic ballad."

The album's title song "The First Time" is a sweet and delicate ballad that was also released earlier this year as a digital single.

The other is a smooth, sweet ballad called "No Letting Go" by Wayne Wonder.

But most are sweet, simple ballads, folk songs, fiddle tunes and dances.

Rhapsody complimented the song for being a " beautiful and sweet collective ballad."

She also sang nearly a dozen ballads both raunchy and sweet in her husky, soulful voice.

The song received acclaim from music critics; most of them complimented Sia involvement on the track, calling it a "sweet, sensitive, simple and lovely ballad".

There are work songs and war songs as well as sweet ballads (the lyrics sometimes overdo the quest for simplicity).

On a sweet ballad he can breathe romantic innocence; when the beat gets tougher, his voice can scratch and blaze.

The fourth single from the album was the sweet ballad about friendship called Je hebt een vriend.
