Sing Out! stated in its Summer 2003 review: "Ostroushko, like Antonín Dvořák and Aaron Copland before him is able to grasp the kernel of music at the center of "the American experience", and transform it into a larger, more colorful whole... Coming Down from Red Lodge is destined to become one of Ostroushko's most popular recordings."

Writing for Allmusic, music critic Chris Nickson wrote the album is "a perfect illustration of his breadth and instrumental virtuosity on both fiddle and mandolin... The only track that doesn't really work is "Hymn: Page 9/11", perhaps because the emotions involved remain too fresh to be put into notes. With that caveat, this is one of Ostroushko's best releases — and that statement alone is no small praise, given his stature as one of the American greats."[1]

gollark: When speaking, you must speak at a speed you can be fairly certain the other person can understand, but you can read at arbitrary rates.
gollark: Oh, right, I worked it out, thanks LyricLy.
gollark: <@137565402501742592> Explain. You have 33 attoseconds.
gollark: Anyway, if speech's information rate is constrained by how fast the brain can process it... how can people read at different (faster, I think) speeds?
gollark: I mean, as far as I know you get maybe 1 bit per 8 characters, and a syllable is maybe 4 characters usually.
