Always Will Be has been praised by Variety, American Songwriter, The Bluegrass Situation, People and PopMatters. Recently, The New York Times visited Irving in her rustic, barn-style home, which includes a designated music area with Nelson's guitar that he gave her during the filming of their 1980 film Honeysuckle Rose.
Over Irving's prolific career, she has been heralded as a "revelation" by Time, while Variety dubbed her "a gifted stage actress of uncompromising integrity." In February, her beloved, critically acclaimed film Crossing Delancey was added to the Criterion Collection. She recently spoke with Vulture about "the New York rom-com classic" and this prestigious honor.
