Critical reception

In a review of the first volume, Glenn BurnSilver of Relix wrote that "Stoned straight-out rocks. Rooted in the blues, these seven tracks are perfectly suited for the high-octane side of Gov't Mule, particularly "Monkey Man" and "Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo (Heartbreaker)" (complete with tell-tale background vocals and full horn accompaniment). And while there's only so much one can add to classic Stones tracks short of techno remixes, Mule locks it in tight." [3]

Track listing

All tracks are written by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards, except "Ventilator Blues", written by Jagger, Richards and Mick Taylor, and "Play with Fire", credited to Nanker Phelge

Exile on Main St. is a studio album by the English rock band the Rolling Stones, released on 26 May 1972 by Rolling Stones Records.
