  Writing for Allmusic, critic Lindsay Planer wrote of the album "Van Ronk's amenable nature is also evident in his interaction with the audience as he tells short jokes between numbers — especially notable is his "W.C. Fields Routine," proving yet again that this is no standard folky. Dave Van Ronk comes from a dying breed of entertainers who were adept at weaving a continuity into whatever they doing... Much of this set mirrors both the music he chose for inclusion on his long-players as well as tunes he would continue to perform throughout the remainder of his career. Van Ronk steers the show through a seemingly infinite maze of musical genres and influences."
