    They sure are spry, and Nelson is so delighted to be singing them that the band's expertise lights up.

    A late flowering triumph. [Jul 2010, p.117]

    The performances are terrific, and although the songs are from the more obscure end of the Western Swing repertoire, with the exception of Corrine Corrina and Right or Wrong, it’s an excellent introduction to this music--a delightful blend of country, swing and jazz.
  4. All Music Guide

    Willie's voice can sound a bit gruff and rough--this is as comfortable and welcoming as a familiar old leather jacket. It's no surprise that it feels good.
