writing for allmusic, critic michael b. smith wrote the album "ranks as one of prine's finest works, a scrapbook of country classics, interpreted by some of the genre's best female vocalists, in duet with one fine american singer and a great songwriter." music critic bill frater wrote "to begin with, long-time john prine fans might be a little put off by this new release. there is only one prine-penned song in the bunch, in spite of ourselves, the title track... i love this album, and i applaud prine proclaiming his love for these kinds of songs." robert christgau gave the album an a rating, and had particular praise for iris dement, writing "... the costar is iris dement, who kills on both the bobby braddock cornpone of "(we're not) the jet set" (rhymes with "chevro-let set") and the conflicted spouse-swapping of the impossible old george & melba hit "let's invite them over"—as well as prine's only new copyright, the title track, in which a husband and wife who love each other to death paint totally different pictures of their marriage.
