AllMusic	[4]

AllMusic reviewer Arwulf Arwulf stated: " Roosevelt Sykes and producer Al Smith put together a particularly fine album of contemporary blues firmly anchored in a tradition that was approximately as old as Sykes himself. ... This modern, somewhat plugged-in band did an exceptionally good job of interacting with the old man, and the results are gratifying ... Find a copy of this album and consult with it regularly". ^[4]
