Bruce Eder of AllMusic writes, "There are better collections with all of these songs and more on them, but none handier than this in presenting every facet of Cooke's work -- the only flaw, if there is one, is the absence of one of the better tracks off of the Harlem Square live album." [4]
Rolling Stone 's Steve Bloom writes, "The Man and His Music will probably just confirm what people already knew about Sam Cooke: he possessed a voice that could burn down the house, but he compromised it for stardom." [5]
All tracks are written by Sam Cooke.

The electronic aspects of this album would be explored further by the band on their next release, Under Wraps.
