    It's all delivered with customary warmth and swing from Miller's home studio.
  2. 80
    Mr. Miller and Mr. Lauderdale gave themselves a professional assignment that they could handle, as pals, with aplomb.

    Sometimes things sound more Jimmy ("I Lost My Job of Loving You"), sometimes more Buddy ("It Hurts Me," a searing ballad written by Miller's wife, Julie), but as with every good duets record, their combined voices have produced something greater than the sum of its parts.

    Buddy & Jim in tandem is twice as nice and two of a kind.

    The two Nashville linchpins' close harmony duets and stellar guitar work uniting the eclecticism of styles.

    An eclectic, freewheeling set remarkable not just for its inter-twining guitars but for its vocals, too.

    Miller and Lauderdale's duets has both the easy familiarity of old friends and the musicianship of old pros. [Mar 2013, p.96]
