    Mostly loose and warm more than heart-stopping. [Apr 2006, p.104]
  2. Maybe this isn't a major record, but it's thoroughly likeable record that doesn't lose its charm on repeated plays.
  3. Uncut

    From start to finish it's an anti-diva joy. [Apr 2006, p.110]
  4. The professionalism behind these country-lite treatments keeps the band from sounding as relaxed and spontaneous as they apparently do live.
  5. Blender

    [Has] a relaxed good humor and a genuine feel for the pulse of Western swing. [Apr 2006, p.114]
  6. For all their individual talents and collective intentions, The Little Willies just don't measure up to the greats they invoke.

    Lots of fun and soul with expert vocals and music; can't ask for more.

    A very nice recording by very good musciains. But it just doesn't catch fire.

    Thought I would love Nora Jones sing anything, but couldn't get into this one.
