On AllMusic,Peter J. D'Angelo said,"Soaring multi-part harmonies;fiddle,guitar,banjo,bass,and mandolin lines that seamlessly intertwine with a good-time feel;and exceptionally solid musicianship round out the ten-track effort.... This is the sound of purists re-creating the music they grew up with and it's both enjoyable and inspiring to listen to." [6]
