Writing for Allmusic, music critic Ronnie D. Lankford, Jr. wrote the album "...a listener doesn't have to check out but three or four tracks on Jack Elliott to find out what an original oddball he is... Jack Elliott manages to pay its respects to public domain material while still being entertaining." [2]
