"Blues People has all of this on display. It's calm, serious, warm, thoughtful, and wonderfully recorded (the album was produced by Glen Scott), and if it doesn't expand Bibb's musical template much, it isn't supposed to, and it ends up being one of Bibb's finest outings".

"While Bibb makes no secret of his black middle-class roots, for example the opening Silver Spoon, the singer-guitarist enlists a bunch of top-notch guests to mine the various seams of blues styles to generally impressive effect".

"'Blues People' celebrates Bibb's blues contemporaries, and his influences and mentors who helped shape his musical career and worldview. Naturally, in celebrating this group of mostly African American musicians, topics of social justice and civil rights often find their way to the foreground ... Bibb covers a lot of ground on 'Blues People'. Over the course of 14 tracks he traverses myriad permutations of blues forms that delve into gospel, soul and rock ... Bibb is a consummate professional and a prodigious songwriter. 'Blues People' is simply a well-conceived and executed suite of songs, a sophisticated yet soulful expression of an artist at the top of his game".
