Writing for Allmusic, critic Cub Koda wrote of the album "His guitar work is clean and well played, and his vocals attain a sense of engagement throughout. While his interpretations of tunes by Chuck Berry, Randy Newman, Elizabeth Cotton, Blind Willie McTell, Jimmy Reed and others are fine, the true highlights come with the originals..." [1] Music critic Robert Christgau wrote of the album "Smither is an easy taste to acquire: he strums as if to the second line born, sings in a lazy, roughly luxuriant baritone, writes when he's got something to say, and understands o.p.'s from the inside out." [2]
