3 stars out of 5 -- "LOST NOTEBOOKS is a collection of 12 lyrics from Hank's notebooks, set to music by the likes of Bob Dylan, Norah Jones and Merle Haggard....Interesting...", 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "Lucinda Williams and Jack White, in different ways, show how much room Hank's writing gives singers to emote.", "Dylan's 'the Love That Faded' Is Gorgeous." -- Grade: B+, "It offers a fresh opportunity to listen to and appreciate what made Williams’ music so unique in country music....His economy, directness and the stripped down perfection of his lyrics and melodies have never been bested.", 3 stars out of 5 -- "Lucinda Williams' spare, voice-and-guitar approach focuses on the simple beauty of his words."
