"Feel-good, funny and foot-stomping! Smyth has honed the musical's pacing, choreography, and blocking to a science, the well-cast trio of singing actors fit snugly in their roles, and the addition of a local blue-grass quintet, the 7th Day Buskers provides an exceptional musical backdrop."
- ( North County Times )
 
"The cast hits all marks! The familiar story unfolds in fresh ways. Under Deborah Gilmour Smyth's assured direction, the story—and Harry Chapin's bluegrass gospel music—gets a deft and lively treatment."
