Critical reception
editCountry Standard Time wrote: "References to the 'Red Man' aside, the group serves up a tasty slice of the Gene Autry-esque West: no bloody gunfights, no syphilitic hookers, just a longing for the trail and a longing to go home and lots of good harmonizing in between."[6] The Gazette wrote that "these Sons offer a romanticized view of cowboy life wrapped up in tight harmonies and melodies that can be sweet on one song and exciting on the next."[7]
