In his Allmusic review, music critic Richard Meyer wrote, "Spider John Koerner sings and plays with a knowing but commanding casual authority that brings this material to life brilliantly. The music jumps out of the speaker so effortlessly you can appreciate the fun and dark side of these old songs."
