  The Washington Post wrote that "the blues ballads suffer by comparison—seasoning counts for something, after all—but even the album's weakest tracks attest to the band's obvious devotion and good taste." The A.V. Club noted that the album "sticks to a relatively rigid Chicago-blues template." The Orange County Register deemed the album more polished than the debut, and concluded that "rockabilly is as revered as rabble-rousing swing, but barrel-throated vocalist Ross Bon finely fuses the two with a little crooning here, a lot of hollering there."
  
  The Chicago Tribune thought that "lead vocalist Ross Bon has developed into a self-assured recording artist, his warm baritone, sleek phrasing and distinctive lyric reading giving the band—and this recording—its focus and identity." The Indianapolis Star determined that Come One, Come All "swings and sways and rocks with a sound that's both true to its World War II-era roots and the need to be contemporary." The Plain Dealer praised the "original vision of jazzy, dance-oriented rhythm and blues and jump."
  
  AllMusic wrote that the album "still sounds a little stiff compared to classic jump blues, but it's still an entertaining record."
