Music critic Bruce Eder gave the album five out of five stars. In his review for AllMusic, Eder described it as 'as hard and exciting a mix of old and new blues sounds as surfaced on record... in what had to be one of the most quietly, defiantly iconoclastic records of 1968.'[1]

In a music review of Taj Mahal reissues for Entertainment Weekly, Tony Scherman gave the album an 'A' and wrote that the album 'explodes with high spirits; of Taj’s 30-plus albums, it might be the best.'[2]
