AllMusic | [2] |
Richie Unterberger of AllMusic said that " although there would always be some bright spots worth a listen (usually in the form of James Burton solos). The material often recalls, but does not match, his earlier '60s ballads such as "Travelin' Man." "Gypsy Woman" is an uncommonly tough number for the period, and "I Will Follow You" is a decent cover of the Little Peggy March hit "I Will Follow Him." [2]
Billboard called it "a Listenable Album", and priased that it features "a flock of other goodies." [3]
Cashbox gave a positive review, describes the album as a "professional, wide-range voice and distinctive style carries him in good stead." [4]
The Evening Independent selected as "A well-balanced program." [5]
