Reception
AllMusic's Stephen Erlewine observes that My Favorites "does differ from the previous Mercury recordings in terms of production – the UA release is slightly smoother, yet it is still firmly in the honky tonk tradition" and comments that Jones delivers the songs "with affection and grit, making the record a thoroughly enjoyable listen."[1]
