    This is unashamedly traditional: committed, personal and really quite perfect. [May 2014, p.91]

    She long ago proved herself worthy of the family legacy, but Carter Girl would be a highlight of her substantial discography regardless of familial stamp.

    Carlene has explained that she feels charged with the responsibility of maintaining and extending her family’s music, and without falsehood or artifice of any kind, she does exactly that on Carter Girl.

    Carlene has revived their songs before, but never with this intensity and emotion.

    She's in fine eloquent fettle, sinking her heart into the ever-resilient material. [May 2014, p.71]

    On Carter Girl, Carlene Carter has confronted the mighty legacy of the Carter Family's songbook and allowed it to strengthen her music rather than buckling under its weight, and this ranks with her finest recorded work to date.

    This may be the best record this Carter girl has ever made.
