Reception
Professional ratings Review scores Source Rating Allmusic [1]
Acoustic & Folk Music Exchange (favorable) [2] Writing for Allmusic, music critic Jana Pendragon wrote of the album "... this is a treasure created by three of very recognizable voices from the world of bluegrass music. And these Groovegrass Boyz never sounded better!... Emotionally satisfying, this is a special project within the scope of traditional American music."[1] Allen Price highly praised the album, calling it "carved out a little piece of musical heaven."[2]
