The Everlys had reached their commercial peak when they made this album of sparsely arranged traditional songs, a concept that was quite a surprise from a top rock & roll act, and considerably ahead of its time. It's actually not as enduring as their early rockers and pop ballads, but the singing is superb on their interpretations of standards like "Barbara Allen" and "Kentucky." ---Richie Unterberger, AllMusic Review
Beautiful, sparse and with some of the best and most heartfelt singing of their careers - if you like Gillian Welch then you'll love this. To modern ears some of the lyrics seem corny but if you want to know the songs that influenced that melancholy and perfect harmony singing this is is a great place to find out. "Put my little shoes away" and "I'm here to get my baby out of jail" are personal favourites "Down in the willow garden" is a nice example of an old timey murder ballad. ---Ute Man, allmusic.com
