Critical reception
Writing in Driftwood Magazine in 2011, Craig Harris said, "Produced by Brian Ahern (Anne Murray, Emmylou Harris) and Bernie Leadon (formerly with the Flying Burrito Brothers and the Eagles), Midnight On The Water remains a milestone in the history of Americana. Tighter arrangements and a well-rehearsed band made this a genre-hopping smorgasbord of bluegrass, country, 1950s pop, and Celtic fiddle tunes. Showing equal dexterity on guitar and fiddle, Bromberg frames 10 cover tunes and 1 original ("The Joke's on Me") with a historic collection of awe-inspiring players and singers. Members of his then-touring band, including pennywhistle/clarinet player Billy Novick, violin/viola player Evan Stover, guitarist/fiddler/bassist Hugh McDonald, drummer Steve Mosley and cornet/trumpet/mellophone player and arranger Peter Ecklund, set a foundation that continues to stand 35 years later, while an amazing array of guests including Jesse Ed Davis (guitar), Mac "Dr. John" Rebennack (piano), Buddy Cage and "Red" Rhodes (pedal steel) and backup singers Bonnie Raitt, Emmylou Harris, Linda Ronstadt, Doyle Lawson and Ricky Skaggs, add the spice."
