Rolling Stone - 2/3/00, p.62

3.5 stars out of 5 - "...with curled-tongue abandon [Parton] re-tackles bluegrass, country and traditional songs with brio..."

Entertainment Weekly - 10/29/99, p.115

"...inspired writing and enlivened covers. Surrounded by an A team of accompanists and singers...she holds her own as a pure mountain talent." - Rating: B+

Q - 1/00, p.122

3 stars out of 5 - "...an album of traditional, downhome bluegrass. The rapid-fire rhythms and dancing melodies are well-suited to Parton's vibrato....a fresh, fitting new direction."

CMJ - 11/1/99, p.28

"...an exciting release....displaying Parton's sweet yet powerful voice...also showcases her formidable compositions....one of the best and most appealing bluegrass albums of 1999."

Dirty Linen - 2-3/00, p.75

"...[Parton] converts back to the music of her youth for a full-length bluegrass CD....[Her] self-penned compositions, among which is the moving title cut, are allowed some of the overdue spotlight."

Mojo (Publisher) - 12/99, p.125

"...Rarely has this entertainment icon sung more beautifully."
