AllMusic reviewer Bill Dahl stated: "More than a quarter century after he cut his debut album, Bell recently made his finest disc to date. Boasting superior material and musicianship and a goosed-up energy level that frequently reaches incendiary heights, the disc captures Bell outdoing himself".[2] The Penguin Guide to Blues Recordings stated that "Bell benefits greatly from a high-quality backing band and a tight production team that curbs his habitual excesses ...It tends to suggest Bell might inherit the Chicago harmonica crown on merit rather than by default".[3]
