Paul Talbert for the Detroit Free Press wrote "on such songs as 'There is Love' and 'Blessed' the honey flow is tempered by his musicianship and even some poetry, too." [2]

Ron LaRoche of The Terre Haute Tribune exclaimed "This is an excellent concert album full of a lot of good music and cheer. It's comfortable and relaxing, almost nostalgic." [13]
