Critical reception
No Depression wrote that Stirratt and Hudson's "harmonies, and, just as importantly, the subtle, fleeting moments when their voices veer off course are Blue Mountain’s musical signature." The Washington Post thought that "Hudson and Stirratt borrow widely and wisely—grabbing elements from X, Johnny Cash, Lynyrd Skynyrd, J.J. Cale and especially Neil Young, both in his pretty acoustic and noisy electric phases—but they give it all backwoods Mississippi spin and make it intensely personal." Exclaim! noted that the band "even venture into Dixie-fried rock territory, albeit in a mercifully less greasy form than the Molly Hatchets of yesteryear."
