Sing Out! stated in its Summer 2003 review: "Ostroushko, like Antonín Dvořák and Aaron Copland before him is able to grasp the kernel of music at the center of "the American experience", and transform it into a larger, more colorful whole... Coming Down from Red Lodge is destined to become one of Ostroushko's most popular recordings."

Writing for Allmusic, music critic Chris Nickson wrote the album is "a perfect illustration of his breadth and instrumental virtuosity on both fiddle and mandolin... The only track that doesn't really work is "Hymn: Page 9/11", perhaps because the emotions involved remain too fresh to be put into notes. With that caveat, this is one of Ostroushko's best releases — and that statement alone is no small praise, given his stature as one of the American greats."[1]
