Sherrill added that one modification he did make to Jones's style was having him sing in lower keys because he found the vocals on his early records "really, really high, and kind of annoying, to me."

Jones had not been the presence he had been in the charts towards the end of his Musicor run but his association with Wynette, who was twelve years younger and had scored monster hits like "Stand by Your Man" in 1969, suddenly gave him a contemporary edge.

Vocally, the pair was an almost perfect blend, and their first single together, a song Jones had released in 1965 called "Take Me", became a top ten hit.

Also included on the album is "After Closing Time", which had been released as a duet single the prior year by David Houston and Barbara Mandrell.

Stephen Thomas Erlewine of AllMusic opines that We Go Together gains "most of its strength from George and Tammy’s easy, natural chemistry, which is evident and ebullient despite the sometimes rocky material."
