"File this classy reissue in the better-late-than-never bin. Those who haven't experienced the album yet can jump in now and appreciate just how ahead of her time Bobbie Gentry was. It proves that the iconic "Ode to Billie Joe" displayed just the tip of her talent iceberg".

"The Delta Sweete more than lives up to its billing as a lost classic. The ten extra cuts make it even more rewarding. There's not a bad cut on either CD. It's a sweet deal, to be sure".

"A masterpiece back ... with new stereo mix and outtakes. CD has mono mix too ... After exploding with the game changing Ode to Billy Joe, Bobbie Gentry was all set to make a Dylan-sized dent in pop's perception of what a country girl could do. Awarded free rein, she delivered this beautiful album".
