  1. Entertainment Weekly
    100
    Earle, Townes Van Zandt's foremost disciple, gives 15 favorites the kind of carefully considered settings they deserve.
  2. PopMatters
    90
    One of the consistent strong suits of Earle's albums has been the duets and backing vocals, and this album is no different, with enriching guest appearances by Tom Morello, his wife Allison Moorer and--a first--his son Justin Townes Earle on the top-rate track 'Mr. Mudd and Mr. Gold.'
  3. Pitchfork
    53
    Townes, though well intended, shows neither of these formidable artists in his best light.
