All Music Guide - James Christopher Monger
Recorded during the sessions for 2012's excellent Who's Feeling Young Now?, this five-song EP does little to tarnish the Punch Brothers' reputation for impeccable picking and arranging. The five previously unreleased cuts, which include three covers, one original, and a wistful rendition of the oft-recorded traditional folk tune "The Moonshiner," are presented in the same austere fashion as their predecessors, eschewing excessive multi-tracking for more of an intimate, live feel.
