"Nelson doesn't make any attempt to freshen up these songs, which is the album's charm. Nelson salutes every phase of Ray's career, reviving the lush Nashville strings of Price's early-'70s hits in addition to the dry, dusty Texas two-steps and Ray Price shuffles ... his voice is leathery and tattered, much thinner than it was just ten years ago - and yet that's part of the point of the album ... It makes for an affectionate and bittersweet album, one that is a fitting tribute to a lifelong friend".
