Rolling Stone 4/5 stars[5]

Rolling Stone called it "one of the strongest studio sets of his career, standing alongside classics such as Singin' the Blues and Lucille."[5] Both Rolling Stone and AllMusic commented on the stripped down sound and lack of guest appearances which was departure in style from King's recent previous albums. Both credited T-Bone Burnett for the shift in sound and praised him for his production.
