The early buzz surrounding Just Us Kids suggests that McMurtry has followed his award- winning 2005 album, Childish Things, with another masterpiece. “(James McMurtry's) new one Just Us Kids, is gonna blow your socks all the way off and back onto the sheep what made 'em," declared Harp Magazine. Texas Monthly called McMurtry “more energized than ever."
