"Fans of this Raleigh-based fourpiece know by now they'll likely be in for a faultlessly produced and smoothly performed collection of bluegrass music - and they won't be disappointed ... [What makes] "Sharing the Covers" such a powerful celebration of musical diversity [is] the combination of much more improbable tributes - like, say, their version of jazz guitar giant Johnny Smith's "Walk Don't Run", or "I Think I'm in Love" by art popster Beck or Irish soul singer James Hunter's "People Gonna Talk" - and the care and passion with which they've been re-arranged into bluegrass numbers".

"Casting their net wide, the quartet cover contemporaries and classics, modern and vintage tunes in equal measure, their choices continually telegraphing their good taste. Happily, their execution demonstrates their skill. Although Chatham County Line doesn't reinterpret many of the songs - even a nimble reading of the Ventures' "Walk - Don't Run" doesn't turn the tune inside-out - they nevertheless imprint these largely familiar tunes with their personality".
