Stephen Thomas Erlewine, in a review for AllMusic, gave the album three out of five stars. [2] He writes:
Every Day I Have the Blues is more about the sounds and feel of 1969 [as Walker] amiably plays with the burbling organ, slightly too bawdy horns, and too loose rhythms. What's fun here is that very distant disconnect, how Walker doesn't fully embrace his new surroundings but is game anyway, playing up a storm on otherwise undistinguished instrumentals. [2]
