Critical reception

In the issue dated March 21, 1970, Billboard published a review which said, "This great country duo does "Tomorrow Is Forever", their current smash single, in addition to "Forty Miles from Poplar Bluff", "Silver Sandals", and others. It is a powerful package, full of true country flavor."

The two singers blend their talents on a cluster of good tunes, a number of them the work of Dolly herself (one of these, "Tomorrow Is Forever", is a current single hit for Porter and Dolly). Reserve a spot on the charts for this one."
