"Saturday Night Hay Fever: Bluegrass Artists Perform Disco Hits" has been described as "smash hit hillbilly disco" (Tamara Turner, cdbaby.com) and "perhaps the best that disco has sounded in decades" (Jason Feifer, Ink19.com). Dallas Morning News's music critic Mario Tarradell praised the compilation for its "off-the-wall originality."

Russ Elliott of musicaldiscoveries.com called it "an album of superb tracks ... a must listen!" while Mary Damiano of The Express, a leading Florida weekly, described it as "a stunning new CD ... the perfect melding of old songs with new voices."
