The album was finally reissued in full as part of the 2019 compilation Ooh Child - The Columbia Years on Cherry Tree Records.

""[1] Parry Gettelman of The Orlando Sentinel gives the album 4 out of 5 stars as well, and says, "Carter's voice has a wonderful delicacy but doesn't lack for power or soul.

"[2] The New York Times called Just a Stone's Throw Away "a record that ranges from lovelorn Los Angeles country‐rock ballads to bluegrassy folk to rambling funk, and the legitimate quest on whether Miss Carter holds up her end in all of this.

"[3] Blue Desert's review says, "Her first solo album, Just a Stone’s Throw Away, featured an impressive array of guest artists from the 1970s Southern California music scene.

That album also featured Jackson Browne, Linda Ronstadt and Earth Wind and Fire, included the songs "Ooh Child" and "Face of Appalachia" and got her booked as the opening act for the Eagles during a European tour.
