AllMusic reviewer Lindsay Planer stated: "Astute listeners will note that three of the titles – "The Titanic," "John Henry," and "The Wreck of the Old 97" – were duplicated from Anderson's side-long contribution to Gospel, Blues & Street Songs. , . However Anderson's delivery is notably different when comparing the two performances. One of the primary discrepancies lies in the pacing. Here, the readings are more definite and seemingly less rushed. The same is true for the phrasing of Anderson's vocals ... The intricate and somewhat advanced guitar-playing – that became one of Anderson's trademarks – is arguably more pronounced on these recordings as well".[4]
