AllMusic called the album "stunning," writing that "this is the blues in their purest form, rough and ragged, rubbed raw by too much hard living and too many tough breaks."[1]Exclaim! wrote that the duo "certainly sound ready to compete with peers like the Black Keys ... [they] actually possess enough chops to write some memorable songs."[4] The Star Tribune wrote that "the lo-fi, hard punk-blues sound is raw, gritty and often ferocious, thanks to singer Joe Evans' aggressive slide guitar and Brenn Beck's minimalist percussion."[5]
