AllMusic reviewer Bill Dahl stated: "When Harris returned to New Jersey later that same year to wax his Bluesville encore, he brought along fellow Chicagoan Jimmie Lee Robinson as his guitarist. A full rhythm section was used this time (New York cats all), but the overall approach was quite a bit closer to what he was used to hearing on Chicago's West side".[4] The Penguin Guide to Blues Recordings considers the accompaniment to be not entirely suited to Harris’s style, and the album not to be one of his best.[5]
