"It's a testament to its immense talents and friendship that after 14 years together and various side projects, Blue Highway keeps creating music that connects and entertains.
- Ken Tucker, Billboard
"...Blue Highway manages to appear at once contemporary and rooted...Their music looks back, even as it looks forward."
- David Baxter, No Depression
"...they demonstrate that you can make meaningful mountain music just about anywhere, as long as you put your heart into it."
- Country Weekly
"...inspired picking and passionate vocals."
- Mario Tarradell, The Dallas Morning News
"The singing on Blue Highway's Through the Window of a Train is every bit as exceptional as longtime fans have come to expect from the group...Newcomers will also find plenty to like on this CD, including the stellar musicianship that you'd expect from one of the most popular bands in bluegrass."
- Katherine Cole, Voice of America
"The only thing disappointing about this album, is the fact there aren't more songs. With this quality of music you just wish it could go on without ever having to end. Thankfully that's what the repeat button is for."

"Blue Highway have been dominating the bluegrass charts since they came on the scene in the late ‘90s, and Through the Window of a Train is another impressive addition to their canon."
- J. Poet, AllMusic.com
"...among the most adventurous and experimental ensembles in bluegrass and acoustic music, and Blue Highway's eighth CD Through the Window of a Train may be its finest."
- Nashville City Paper
"Not that Blue Highway hasn't been working on a higher plane all along, but on Through the Window of a Train the quintet outdoes itself."
- David McGee, Barnes and Noble.com
