Writing for Allmusic, critic Richard S. Ginell wrote of the album "All of these tunes give Atkins plenty of room to display some fancy fingerpicking, classical technique, and even a bit of gentle sustained rock guitar on his instruments... Since the vast majority of country albums then were considered disposable goods by the Nashville machine, this — like many a fine Atkins record — will be difficult to locate."[1]
