AllMusic | [4] |
AllMusic reviewer Cub Koda stated "Waters's tribute album to the man who gave him his start on the Chicago circuit, this stuff doesn't sound much like Broonzy so much as a virtual recasting of his songs into Muddy's electric Chicago style. Evidently the first time Waters and his band were recorded in stereo ... with some really great harp from James Cotton as an added bonus."[4]
