AllMusic reviewer Scott Yanow stated: "After four years off records and in obscurity, Lonnie Johnson launched his final comeback with this release ... Johnson sings and plays guitar on a variety of blues, showing that the layoff (he was working at the time as a janitor) had not hurt his abilities in the slightest".[4]
