The review published by Billboard in the August 15, 1970 issue said, "That lilting voice of Dolly Parton's blends perfectly with the lusty sound of Porter Wagoner – as they prove in definitive measure on the hit "Daddy Was an Old Time Preacher Man" – the key sales impetus on this LP. Some outstanding cuts include the tear-jerker "Ragged Angel", the bright and tart "Fight and Scratch", and "Thoughtfulness". Another winning LP from this duo."[3]
Cashbox published a review in the August 8, 1970 issue, which said, "Here's the new album release by one of country music's most famous duos, Porter Wagoner and Dolly Parton and it's a powerhouse item all the way. Decker features such tracks as "Daddy Was an Old Time Preacher Man", "I Know You're Married But I Love You Still", "Before Our Weakness Gets Too Strong", "A Good Understanding", and "Let's Live for Tonight". They all get great vocal stylings from the famed duo. Sure to be a biggie in no time."[4]
AllMusic gave the album 2.5 out of 5 stars.[2]
