Critical reception

The Boston Globe wrote: "By bringing a free wheeling approach to each song, the two establish a balance between authenticity and strangeness that is usually just right. They are not to everyone's taste but there's always a place for an irreverent, lopsided approach to traditional American music—and besides, they're fun." The [New York Times] noted that "it's also nice to hear Mr. Stampfel snarl so musically and so vociferously near the beginning of 'Goin' to Memphis', and his wavering but unfailingly enthusiastic lead and harmony vocals are a delight throughout."
