Critical reception Senior contributor of ''All About Jazz'', C. Michael Bailey, rated the album five stars and wrote:There is nothing remotely retro about the music or its production.

Reviewing the album for AllMusic, Jonathan Widran wrote:The real joys of this disc are his scorching guitar energy, followed by his jumpy boogie-woogie piano.
