"Søn & mor, Ben & Ellen Harper. På deres første fælles album sætter de fokus på akustisk rootsinficeret folk, blues og country. Det er musik i vaskeægte countryånd. Der er melankoli og intimitet i træhytten ... Det er americana i bedste forståelse. Instrumenthåndteringen er formidabel".

"Who would have guessed that nu-hippie Ben Harper's mom is even more soulful than he is? The Harpers perform intimate acoustic songs on guitars and gentle percussion accompanied by their mournful and bloodline-close harmony vocals".

"A collection of ten folk-flavored duets with his mom (...) She plays guitar and banjo on the album, trades leads with her son, and blends her lilting Appalachian alto tones with his somewhat nasal tenor to create harmonies that, much like those of the Everly Brothers, fit like hand in glove in a manner common to people with familial genes ... The instrumentation is minimal and all-acoustic, with second guitar, bass, piano, and drums joining in from time to time during this charming set of homespun music".
