"Not everything clicks-the lazy Latin shuffle "Del Rio You're Making Me Cry" edges too close to Jimmy Buffett territory-but there's enough that works to make this an effective posthumous effort that even perfectionist White would have been proud of".

"Tony Joe White ... Den ukronede swamprock-konge efterlod sig en række tracks/skitser - med kun den hæse, frønnede stemme og stratocasteren som eneste backing. Det er dem, sønnen Jody (...) nu har givet til Black Keys' Dan Auerbach, mangeårig fan af White, som aldrig fik ønsket om samarbejde opfyldt, før nu ... Med Nashville session-musikere, kor, blæsere og storproduceret lyd virker det næsten som et forsøg på at gøre White lidt mere middle-of-the-road her til slut ... White druknes måske ikke direkte i vellyd - sødsuppede 'Del Rio, You're Making My Cry' er værste eksempel - men man tænker uvægerligt, om den svømmende pedalsteel-solo hér eller det storladne kor dér virkelig er nødvendigt".

"The bittersweet title cut opens & the distinctive Tony Joe White vocal is there with a George Harrison-type guitar. Maybe the rest is filler? No. "Boot Money," crawls in equally compelling. The 9 originals are solid. Many engaging & catchy. This is a treasure trove of remarkable pieces from a stellar songwriter's imagination".

"Everything fans liked about Tony Joe White is here, perhaps not as raw in some places as many would like, but it's a batch of good songs spiced with a couple of outstanding gems that leaves one wondering how they never made it to an album".
