"Tightrope falls short of the band's expectations but exerts its own charms, adding to Chatham County Line's canon. Since the band waited four years between new releases, the tide has turned in favor of the upstarts. The belabored nature of Tightrope speaks to Wilson's comment that "the next generation is coming." Struggling with the purity of its chosen narrow genre against the potential commercial appeal it helped bring about, Tightrope fails to reach the heights of 2010's Wildwood, delivered in a time before their progeny took hold".

"Tightrope shows they're one of America's best acoustic groups, able to learn from the past while striking out on a path that's theirs alone. Between the fine ensemble playing, the excellent songwriting, and the subtle but superb studio technique, Tightrope is a high-water mark for Chatham County Line, which is no small statement given the strength of their work to date".
