    Steve Earle and Shawn Colvin sound remarkable together, sharing vocals and guitars on all 10 tracks.

    Less of a musical therapy session, more of a celebration. [Jul 2016, p.91]

    At just over 30 minutes, it’s over pretty quickly so let’s hope this is just the beginning of a fruitful musical relationship.

    Colvin & Earle plays more like a detour for these two artists rather than the beginning of a long-standing collaboration, but the enthusiasm here is honest and the result is a good week's work that leaves room for a sequel.

    Quibbles aside, though, this appears to be a partnership with plenty of mileage left. [Jul 2016, p.70]

    The duo's "Ruby Tuesday" cover slides rough, understated, but their take on "You Were on My Mind" hits a high note.

    There are some fine songs here, from the bluesy, harmonica-backed You’re Right, I’m Wrong to the stirring folk-gospel Tell Me Moses and the gently pained country weepie You’re Still Gone.
