Reception

The Chicago Tribune noted that "classic New Orleans rhythm and blues is alive and thriving." The New York Times wrote that Eaglin "plays like two guitarists at once, picking out lead lines in between strummed rhythm-guitar chords."^[4]

In his review for AllMusic, Bill Dahl states that "Eaglin's churchy, commanding vocals and blistering guitar work are nothing short of mind-boggling throughout the entire disc."
