Record Collector wrote: "More experimental than the straight country of its predecessors, on which cellos and harpsichords dovetailed with more traditional Nashville instrumentation, Clark’s sly wit is in abundance on 'Comfort and Crazy' and 'Shade of All Greens'." [8]

The album was reviewed as being a collection of "some of Clark's finest work", containing "tales of drifters, smuggles, old-fiddle players, wild-eyed girls in cowboy bars, life on the south coast of Texas, waitresses in cheap hotels, the joys of homegrown tomatoes, carpenters and lots of finely crafted, highly original love songs".
Ain't Living Long Like This is the debut studio album by American country music singer-songwriter Rodney Crowell, released in 1978 by Warner Bros. Records. It failed to enter the Top Country Albums chart. The songs, "Elvira", "Song for the Life" and "(Now and Then, There's) A Fool Such as I" were released as singles but they all failed to chart within the top 40. Despite this, Ain't Living Long Like This is considered one of Crowell's best and most influential albums. Brett Hartenbach of Allmusic says it "not only showcases his songwriting prowess, but also his ability to deliver a song, whether it's one of his own or the work of another writer". Most of the songs on this album were later covered by other artists including The Oak Ridge Boys and Alan Jackson. When the album was re-released in 2002 the font on the cover was enlarged to make it more legible.
