AllMusic [1]

Writing for AllMusic, critic Ronnie D. Lankford, Jr. wrote that "Good Old Boys" is "something of a return to form for John Hartford... [it] doesn't stack up to Hartford's classic '70s albums, but it's a fun album that will please longtime fans."[1] Kevin Oliver of Country Standard Time wrote "Hartford and his band make these new tunes sound old and lived – in, a comfortable fit for any ears."[2]
