Reception

Martin Chilton of The Telegraph wrote of the album "That it all came together wonderfully is a testament to Mulvey, his band's musicianship and the choice of original, interesting and varied songs.". Kiel Hauck of PopMatters wrote "While a few of the tracks on The Good Stuff feel a bit tired and re-hashed, the album as a whole is quite pleasing and captures the essence of folk music in true form."
