In his Allmusic review, music critic Rick Anderson wrote that Brown "returns to her bluegrass roots on this beautiful and exhilarating album.

The album's most thrilling moments come on the complex and exhilarating "Leaving Cottondale," which is both one of the prettiest and one of the most technically impressive of Brown's compositions.

Here she's joined by fellow banjo maverick Bela Fleck for one of the most jaw-dropping passages of twin-banjo counterpoint ever put on tape.

Alison, along with vocalist Vince Gill and Gene Libbea who also appear on the cut, offer this version of Steve’s song as a tribute, making the whole performance that much more heartfelt and meaningful.

The title track is a Vince Gill showcase, proving that he can still play mighty fine lead guitar as well as sing magnificently.
