The website "Music Review Zone" gave the album 3-and-a-half stars writing "This is pure country charm all wrapped up in a CD. You won’t be disappointed." Jeffrey B. Remz of "Country Standard Time" gave the album a mixed review writing "Walker certainly did not make a great album here, but he demonstrated he shouldn't be waiting so long until the next time either." Stephen Thomas Erlewine of "AllMusic" called it "his most enjoyable collection in some time." Josh Love of "Stylus Magazine" wrote, "Fall is particularly heavy on heartfelt, optimistic love songs, which normally might send up all sorts of red flags considering how often treacle gets mistaken for romance in country. Fortunately, Walker’s sincere devotionals possess a simplicity and underplayed grace that so many of his maudlin contemporaries lack."
