AllMusic reviewer Cub Koda stated: "Reed was in pretty sad shape by this time in his life and the monotonous approach to these songs (tunes constantly fade in and out as if only this much of the performance was salvageable) gives these recordings a real assembly line quality that's most unsettling".[4]
Bob Dylan paid homage to the album by integrating its title into a lyric in his tribute song "Goodbye Jimmy Reed" ("Can't you hear me calling from down in Virginia?").[5]
