Robison and Maguire prove capable of crafting galloping, catchy choruses for such songs as "The Coast," "Ain't No Son," "It Didn't Make a Sound" and "I Miss You."
-
Though neither boasts Maines’ forcefulness, they invest these tales of severed connections with an emotional intensity that elevates even weaker tracks like “Fairytale” and “Then Again.”
-
Quiet cuts like ''Skyline'' emphasize their down-home vocals. But ''The Coast'' is sunny pop, while ''Ain't No Son'' rocks harder than ''Goodbye Earl.''
-
Perhaps the results are predictable, but they are satisfying, and it’s better to have new music from this duo than none at all.

UncutA deceptively sweet concoction. [Aug 2010, p.79]
-
Q MagazineEssentially, it's another Dixie Chicks record with Robison's more expressive vocals replacing Maines's twang. [July 2010, p. 129]
-
While Court Yard Hounds is a well-packaged and produced collection, its songs seem rather ordinary compared to Chicks material
