Jim Nelson, Reviewer for The Old Time Herald, writes:

"From start to finish, this has to be one of the more enjoyable, and unusual selections of dance fiddle music released in quite some time.... So, if you hear that Curly and Carole Anne will be appearing at a dance near you, make sure to get out. Until then, get out and get this CD. It's a dandy.
