Writing for Allmusic, critic Richard S. Ginell wrote of the album "Chester remains his usual unclassifiable self, dealing out the country picking, smooth easy listening guitar, jazz, and even some very mild rock & roll on this session, with some overdubbed strings discreetly decorating a few tracks... And, as on so many Atkins albums, there is at least one track that one can develop a guilty addiction to for no particular reason; here, it's the happy-go-lucky "Always on Saturday.""[1]

gollark: I'd go so far as to say that most programs over a few hundred lines are pretty hard for anyone but the original creator to understand.
gollark: `software they don't fully understand` = most code.
gollark: ```Encouraging players to install software they don’t fully understand is forbidden.```
gollark: <@!152960219390017538> No, that is utterly false.
