Reception



Bruce Eder of AllMusic said that the album "playing is more subdued and lyrical on Nelson's own "Night Time Lady," and the bluesy "Flower Opens Gently By," and the album ends on the soft, bittersweet ballad "Palace Guard." There's a fair amount of melodic invention throughout, though not quite enough to make this album a classic."
Billboard described the album as "a fine LP."
Cashbox gave a positive review, saying that "it ranges from Dylan-type love song to goodtime stompin'.
Rolling Stone described the album as "an interesting album" and noted it “I Wanna Be with You,” “Don’t Let Your Goodbye Stand,” and “Let It Bring You Along” are hardish rockers"
