In the issue dated June 17, 1967, Billboard published a review of the album which called the album "A welcome, winning album return for a winning duet, as Loretta Lynn and Ernest Tubb again join forces in a first rate collection, beginning with their hit "Sweet Thang". "Bartender" is a fine collaboration. "We'll Never Change" and "Yearning" are among the 10 other standouts."

Cashbox published a review in the June 10, 1967 issue that said, "Once again Ernest Tubb and Loretta Lynn have combined their great talents, and the result is a powerhouse package that’s sure to make a speed climb up the charts. Included in the set are "Sweet Thang", "Let’s Stop Right Where We Are", "I’m Bitin' My Fingernails and Thinkin' of You", "Yearning", and eight others. Stock as much as you can get of this one."
