Reception

Allmusic says that the songs "provide matching passion and rambunctiousness" and that "one of the strong points... is Shorty's ability to translate the exhilaration and acrobatics of his live show into the studio." The Penguin Guide to Blues Recordings says that the length of the tracks is more restricted on this album than in the past, but this "has the adverse effect of making him play at full throttle almost all the time."
