Allmusic reviewer Bill Dahl stated "Legendary producer Ralph Bass supervised this quickie session back in 1977, but it failed to see the light of day domestically until Delmark rescued it from oblivion. They did the blues world a favor: it's a worthwhile session, Bell storming through a mostly original setlist".^[4] The Penguin Guide to Blues Recordings said "Given the conditions, it's hardly surprising the musicians went for proficiencyarather than inspiration ... One can't blame the musicians for the exploitative nature of the session but the results are invariably no more than pleasant".^[5]
