Critical reception
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]
