Critical reception
[edit]The Encyclopedia of Popular Music wrote that the album helped to establish the group "as one of America's leading traditional acts, although purists denigrated the band's sometimes irreverent attitude."[3] MusicHound Folk: The Essential Album Guide wrote that it contains a "smokin' version of 'Dueling Banjos' 10 years before Deliverance."[7]
