Critical reception
Upon release, Mike Weatherford of 'The Durant Daily Democrat' commented: "Traditional [country] the band may be, but its last single, "In Another Lifetime," could have been released by The Eagles in their heyday." The 'San Jose Mercury News' commented: "The rock edge of "In Another Lifetime" provides a provocative hint as to the range that country rock can achieve."[https://www.google.com/search?hl=en&gl=uk&tbm=nws&q=desert+rose+another+lifetime&oq=desert+rose+another+lifetime&gs_l=news-cc.3..43j43i400.150496.155699.0.155812.38.4.5.29.34.0.138.416.2j2.4.0...0.0...1ac.1._Kd31Aul58c#q=desert+rose+another+lifetime&hl=en&gl=uk&tbm=nws&source=lnt&tbs=ar:1&sa=X&psj=1&ei=yf-DULyEFqKx0QXIwoCgBQ&ved=0CCMQpwUoBQ&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.r_qf.&fp=19926bcafb9aed8e&bpcl=35466521&biw=1280&bih=587 Google News Search]
In 2010, Randy Lewis of the 'Los Angeles Times' said of the song: "What made the group's approach such a treat a quarter-century ago was the way the players started with the impeccable instrumental and vocal chops common to bluegrass and infused them with a pronounced jolt of rock energy. It also brought the folk-rock singer-songwriter ethos to many of their songs. "In Another Lifetime" puts forth the questions, "Have I lived through the best of times?/Have I hurt anyone?," weaving in a level of self-reflection that hasn't always been at the forefront of the Country genre."
