Writing for Allmusic, music critic Steve Leggett wrote of the album "Watson brings his own considerable guitar and banjo skills to bear on this selection of folk and blues tunes. Doc's voice is as easy and as comfortable as an old fishing hat ... further proof of how Watson makes everything he touches fit into his personal and seamless tour of American folk music."[1]
