Despite this, Ain't Living Long Like This is considered one of Crowell's best and most influential albums.

Most of the songs on this album were later covered by other artists including The Oak Ridge Boys and Alan Jackson. When the album was re-released in 2002 the font on the cover was enlarged to make it more legible.
