AllMusic reviewer Bruce Eder stated "One of Bo Diddley's least-known albums ... at the point when none of his records were selling in America. With an edgy, raunchy sound and modern record techniques (it's in stereo), Diddley and band come up with a solid '60s version of his original sound. The title track is a real jewel... Other tracks sound like they'd have worked well as part of extended jams of the kind that Diddley did on-stage ... There is some filler here ... but that can be forgiven in view of the strength of the rest of the material.". [3]
