The theme of Leylines is interconnectedness. In an interview, Chloe Smith said that the word 'leylines'

{{blockquote|... alludes to magnetic points of spirit, energy, history, and power in various parts of the world. Unique connections that are more subtle than linear, if you will. We always sense connections between far removed places, and our album is a reflection of that with the layering of Appalachia, Ireland, and West Africa. We wanted to weave lines of connections aurally with both traditional music from those places as well as contemporary lyrics..."{{sfn|Kaplan|2019}} }}

The album was reviewed by George Graham in The Graham Album Review, who wrote:

{{blockquote|Rising Appalachia’s new album Leylines [...] is an outstanding recording by another group who takes what is basically folk music and turns it into something quite eclectic. The group has a lot of strengths, not the least of which are the excellent sibling vocal harmonies, but also includes the mixture of southern banjo and fiddle, with world percussion and African string instruments. The material is also a nice combination of creatively arranged traditional songs with their original pieces, some imbued with social commentary. It’s all very tastefully performed.{{sfn|Graham|2019}} }}
