Critical reception

AllMusic[3]

Billboard published a review in the issue dated June 20, 1970, which said, "Although Dolly Parton is now on another label, this album should draw considerable attention from her legion of fans. And the selections, such as "I Don't Want You Around Me Anymore", "Too Lonely Too Long", and the title song. "Daddy Won't Be Home Anymore" is another first-rate number."[4]

In the June 27 issue, Cashbox published a review of the album saying, "Here are some old Dolly Parton sides that her fans should enjoy. Most of the songs on the set are Dolly's own compositions (some of them are co-cleffings with Bill Owens), and "Why, Why, Why", "I Don't Want You Around Me Anymore", "As Long as I Love", "Too Lonely Too Long", and the other numbers on the set should please many. LP should fare nicely."[5]

Record World published a review of the album, saying, "Dolly's new release on her old label is unique in that all but three tunes are self-penned. If you like the singing of Miss Dolly and the songwriting combo of Owens and Parton, then you'll go for the East Tennessee beauty's new release. Gal shows why she's so firmly established."[6]

Eugene Chadbourne gave the album 4 out of 5 stars in his review for AllMusic. He said that Parton's years at Monument resulted in "terrific straightforward country numbers." He went on to say that while the album is made up of early material, Parton "already has it all together." He closed by saying the album is "superb country and western" and "establishes Parton as a visionary artist in traditional American music."[3]

Commercial performance

The album did not appear on any major music charts.
