Critical reception

edit

K.A. Scott of AllMusic writes "By recording her debut album in England, Carlene Carter served notice that despite coming from a legendary American country music family, she intended to make her own way in the biz and establish her own musical identity."[1]

Robert Christgau says, "This woman has a strong voice, an assertive persona, and good taste in bands (the Rumour) and grandmothers (Maybelle C.)."[2]
