Robert Christgau assigned it a "B" rating, opining: "Very likable, bright and open and good humored, but like so many solo performers, folkies especially, he can't fill an album... his talent requires mood changes more conspicuous than so subtle an instrumentalist, or so thin a vocalist, can provide."[2]
In reviewing the 1999 reissue, AllMusic critic Sharon Witmer wrote: "The title cut is a rousing number on which Goodman is joined by a stellar cast of musicians... sounds like an old-timey hoedown. It did Steve Goodman proud and is a fitting way to remember this ephemeral, but brilliant shooting star in the musical firmament."[1]
