AllMusic reviewer Bill Dahl stated: "Here's a very attractive example of a pianist with roots dug deep in pre-war tradition updating his style just enough to sound contemporary for 1960. ... Montgomery swoops through his seminal "Vicksburg Blues" and "No Special Rider" with enthusiasm and élan". [4] The Penguin Guide to Blues Recordings comments that Lafayette Thomas’s presence on the album sets it apart from other records by Montgomery. [5]
