Critical reception
Template:Album ratings In his review for AllMusic, Tom Demalon called the album "a low-key, joyous run-through of mostly traditional, blues-based songs with a handful of originals."[1] Demalon continued:
<templatestyles src="Template:Blockquote/styles.css" />
Despite the high-profile presence of Knopfler, the Notting Hillbillies succeed in sounding like a band with Knopfler often taking a backseat to his bandmates, although he does sing lead on the lovely "Your Own Sweet Way". The styles range from the gorgeous harmonies of "Railroad Worksong" with some mournful guitar from Knopfler, to the '50s-style rock ballad "Bewildered", to the breezy, tropical-flavored "One Way Gal".[1]
