AllMusic reviewer Nathan Bush stated: "The players here are extremely loose, betraying a casual interest in the task at hand. They sound like a group of borrowed session men, but were in fact a small combo familiar both with each other and Hopkins himself. ... Hopkins was apparently reluctant to do second takes, however, and these recordings show it. ... the performances hardly approach the level of Hopkins' solo sides from the period, let alone his best work".
The Penguin Guide to Blues Recordings said the album "break[s] away from the guitar-only format and on several tracks call in friends like Pickens (playing on what would be his last session)".
