All songs written by Fred Eaglesmith.
Of the album, Jason Schneider at Exclaim! said, "(it) immediately proves to be a radical departure, and a thoroughly welcome one. ... (A)im(ing) for classic Memphis blue-eyed soul(, i)t doesn't exactly achieve this goal. Instead, the album could be the equivalent of Bruce Springsteen's Nebraska if it had been recorded with ProTools. ... (I)n the process, (Eaglesmith) and Merritt created something entirely different, and like a newborn colt, beautiful in its own awkward way." [1]
The reviewer at The Sydney Morning Herald gave Dusty a 4-star rating, saying, "It's neither country nor folk - it just is what it is. This is also as bleak as (Eaglesmith) has been. These stories rarely mention it directly, but they reek of a time where on top of the daily hassles of working, wanting and getting by is a patina of gnawing despair. It's a sorrow aimed at a world more fixed on anger, retribution and empty religious sentiments than offering hope." [2]
