All Music
The result of the apparently scattershot song selection and numerous musicians is an album that possesses a quiet majesty, further establishing Willie Nelson as one of the most important writers and interpreters of the last half of the 20th century.

Rolling Stone
A sumptuous feast, “Across the Borderline” balances the stark guitar-and-voice ardor of “Who’ll Buy My Memories?” (1991); both bespeak a master’s revival.

Entertainment Weekly
As the artistic refinancing of a nearly bankrupt career, this album could have been called Paid in Full.

Robert Christgau
his best in a coon's age, and a touch too artful all around ("She's Not for You," "Don't Give Up," "American Tune") ***
