Speaking of his intention behind the album, Dylan stated:

I don't see myself as covering these songs in any way. They've been covered enough. Buried, as a matter a fact. What me and my band are basically doing is uncovering them. Lifting them out of the grave and bringing them into the light of day.

The album garnered acclaim from critics, who praised its song selections as well as Dylan and his band's performance and arrangements. The album debuted at No. 1 on the UK Albums Chart, making Dylan the oldest male solo artist to chart at No. 1 in the UK. At the 2016 Grammys, it was nominated for Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album.
