==Reception==
Reviewing retrospectively for [[AllMusic]], critic Stephen J. Matteo wrote of the album "Dan Fogelberg expanded slightly on his sparse, countrified folk sound, adding a distinctively more pop feel, thanks to help from producer Joe Walsh."<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.allmusic.com/album/souvenirs-mw0000193839|title = Souvenirs - Dan Fogelberg &#124; Songs, Reviews, Credits &#124; AllMusic|website = [[AllMusic]]}}</ref>
