Billboard published a review in the July 1, 1972 issue that said, "With material that proves show stoppers in her concert appearances, Miss Lynn has a powerful sales item in these strong performances. Among the top cuts are the title tune as well as "Working for the Lord", "If God Is Dead", "I Feel Like Traveling On", and "I Pray My Way Out of Trouble"."[3]

In the June 17 issue, Cashbox published a review saying, "America was truly blessed with new hope and resources at the time that "God Bless America" was written, and if this country ever needed a blessing again, it’s here and now. Most fortunately, the blessing bestowed upon us with this album is Loretta Lynn’s pure and true country talent, delivering, eleven songs revolving around the theme of our proud American heritage and its future. Listen to "Six Feet of Sod" and "Livin' in God's Country" and watch the Stars and Stripes wave in time to the music."[4]

The album peaked at No. 7 on the Billboard Hot Country LP's chart.

Recording sessions for the album took place two years before the album was released. The first session was on April 8, 1970, at Bradley's Barn in Mount Juliet, Tennessee. Two additional sessions followed on July 15 and August 12.[5]
