Those tunes, along with the album-closing title track, effortlessly meditate on life, love and the passage of time, and honor Nelson’s massive talent and Price’s visionary genius.

All Music
Willie sang these songs with Ray and now that Price is gone, Nelson sings them a little differently, his love and melancholy accentuating his weathered voice. It makes for an affectionate and bittersweet album, one that is a fitting tribute to a lifelong friend.

Pop Matters
hese unsurprising but deeply memorable performances are likely to conjure up emotions and memories far from the surface

I can’t find fault with anything on this album.

The Music Nerd Chronicles
the group brings a slant of Western Swing to songs like “Heartaches By The Number,” “City Lights” and “Crazy Arms.” Left to his own devices, however, Nelson doesn’t disappoint, delivering impeccable vocal performances on “It Always Will Be,” and “I’m Still Not Over You.”

Rolling Stone
For the Good Times offers more of a poignant, personal approach, though. Price’s presence looms throughout these 12 tracks — in the string arrangements, in the vibrato of Nelson’s vocals, in the warm ambiance of the recording studio itself — and Nelson responds accordingly, delivering some of his strongest vocal performances of the 2000s.
