The Philadelphia Inquirer noted that the "spare arrangements show that Wells is still a sly, crafty player."[11] The Chicago Tribune praised the "sly rendition of swamp rocker Bobby Charles' 'Why Are People Like That?'"[15]

The Buffalo News concluded that "no one is overshadowing Wells' soulful harp, or his bluesy voice, surprisingly intact at 62 after a career spent in smoky clubs."[18] The Rocky Mountain News determined that "the bluesman still sounds warm and supple, or edgy and anguished, as the mood requires."[19]

AllMusic called the album "a virtual slide-guitar mini-fest and a demonstration of the timeless appeal of classic blues done well."[14] MusicHound Blues: The Essential Album Guide deemed it "a top-notch album cut years after Wells was written off as a creative force."[17]
