  Awarding the album four and a half stars from AllMusic, Thom Jurek states, "Welch has given us a blues album for the ages." Michael Toland, giving the album four stars at Blurt Magazine, writes, "It's not just the North Mississippi sound that's in good hands with Welch – it's the blues in general." Rating the album eight stars for PopMatters, Ben Child says, "Pound for pound, track for track, Welch latches onto the stringent intensity of the hill country blues but lets go of the ramshackle." Lins Honeyman, indicating in an eight out of ten review by Cross Rhythms, replies, "Welch does it in style."
