Stereo Review stated: "Ballads and dances to the heart and the bottle are expertly played in a trad setting that features such instruments as lute, recorder, hoboy, curtal, kazoo, and 'ye great dooble bass'."[7] The St. Louis Post-Dispatch deemed Hang Up Sorrow and Care "the most inspired drinking album of the digital era."[8]
AllMusic wrote that "Maddy Prior and the Carnival Band have made a real party album, of witty, upbeat traditional songs from the British Isles."[6]
