AllMusic reviewer Bill Dahl stated: "You wouldn't think that transporting one of Chicago's reigning piano patriarchs to Englewood Cliffs, NJ would produce such a fine album, but this 1960 set cooks from beginning to end. Sunnyland Slim's swinging New York rhythm section has no trouble following his bedrock piano, and the estimable King Curtis peels off diamond-hard tenor sax solos in the great Texas tradition that also mesh seamlessly".[4]
DownBeat reviewer Pete Welding gave the album 4 stars.[7] He wrote, "In short, there is nothing coy or oblique about this stuff—it hits you squarely between the eyes. If you like spontaneous, emotive down-home blues, performed with fervor and excitement, this collection is for you".[7]
