Critical reception
The review published in the June 21, 1969 issue of Billboard said, "This is must merchandise for the dealer. Devotees of country music will find it very difficult to lay this package down inasmuch as the combined sales power of Ernest Tubb and Loretta Lynn is tremendous. They do some great duets, including the hit single, "Who's Gonna Take the Garbage Out" and "Let's Wait a Little Longer", "That Odd Couple" and others."

Cashbox published a review in the June 28 issue which said, "The dynamic duo of Ernest Tubb and Loretta Lynn return for their third LP which spotlights the twosome performing their latest chart rising single in addition to other fine ballad and up tempo delights. Included, besides the title track, are "Who's Gonna Take the Garbage Out?", "Holding on to Nothing", "Chased You Till You Caught Me", "Let the World Keep on a Turnin'", "That Odd Couple" and five more. Fine set."
