Writing for Allmusic, critic Scott Yanow gave the album 5 out of 5 stars and wrote: "The music (full of close musical communication) is subtle and quiet yet consistently inventive. It is obvious after a few minutes of listening that Breau had complete control of his guitar and an original voice of his own.... Overall this two-fer gives one a definitive portrait of the nearly forgotten legend." [1]
