"This is music pitched perfectly between the acoustic blues of Tampa Red's earliest recordings and the electrified, hopping sound of electric blues and it retains a kinetic kick all these years later; it's about time these sessions got back into print".

"Believing, correctly, that Tampa's later recordings have been unjustly neglected, Ace has put together this double-disc compilation that spans - in reverse chronological order - the period 1941-53 ... Production values, if anything, exceed Ace's usual high standard ... this set should help restore Tampa Red's name to its rightful place in the blues firmament. Certainly, no collection of Chicago blues should be without it".

"Vurdering: Good" - "Excellent two-CD set ... The man himself is in great voice, and blistering blues piano from Johnnie Jones and Maceo Merriweather gives credence to the title".
