  1. A magisterial album.... If the group has cast off some of the youthful eclecticism, the three Chicks have pulled off something more difficult: refined their trademark sound without allowing it to turn into a copyrighted formula.
  2. This is a pure country album, loaded with fiddles, acoustic guitars, and close harmonies, but retaining the Chicks' signature flair, sense of humor, and personality.... An instant classic.

    An album that continues their mission of yanking bluegrass into the modern era. [#9, p.149]
  4. They are incapable of shaping a song, teasing out tension, friction or emotional swoop; they're happy to just play it.

    Ask Entertainment Weekly or CMT this is one of the GREATEST COUNTRY albums ever made. With the genre of Country being invaded by large pop influences this album easily goes down as one that is purely true to the original Bluegrass roots of Country, this album is incredible. Expand

    The new sound is terrific! I loved the instrumental song. However, after awhile they all started to sound the same.

    This is Nas best album since his debut Illmatic. There is some filler for example "Smokin". But overall this is Nas most introspective and consistent album since his debut. Expand
