All Music Guide
At 67, Baez betrays some vocal aging, but she uses it wisely to impart extra feeling into what is often a downbeat collection of quality songs, and Earle has succeeded in his attempt not to reinvent her, but to re-create her sound and message in contemporary terms.

Observer Music Monthly
Grasslands, wind in your hair, long, dusty roads travelled - it's all evoked in Joan's fine 24th studio album, and her voice, high and flowing, low and gravelly, flows timelessly through it like a mountain stream.

The Guardian
What makes this set successful is the choice of songs.

Boston Globe
Baez has never sounded wiser, or more deeply human.

Hartford Courant
She boils songs down to their bare essences, and colors them in simple, evocative ways.

Rolling Stone
It's a fruitful partnership: Earle's hard-won earthiness acts as a counterweight to Baez's ethereal tendencies, and Day After Tomorrow leans toward tough-minded material with blues and Appalachian overtones.
