Writing for Allmusic, critic Chris Nickson wrote that of the album, "Spontaneity rules. Familiar tunes get new readings. Little known gems are unearthed. It's a loosey-goosey affair, with good picking, satisfying harmonies, and loads of fun."[2] David Kleiner of Minor 7th wrote "Put three very diverse singer/songwriters together and try to make them into a group, and you could be looking at a recipe for disaster. Egos, ideas, and experiences all enter the mix. It's remarkable, then, that Redbird sound so cohesive, given that Kris Delmhorst, Jeffrey Foucault, and Peter Mulvey all have established individual careers. It's a record made by people who sound like they genuinely enjoy playing together (which can't be said for many groups), and who've found strong common ground. And finishing with Tom Waits' plaintive "Hold On" is a masterstroke."[1] Writing for No Depression, music critic Buzz McLain wrote of the album "Here’s a trio with a portable DAT machine, a single stereo microphone and a living room in Wisconsin that’s actually made a collection of songs worth listening to.
