"There's not a note or a nuance out of place anywhere on this record, which featured 35 of the most exciting minutes of instrumental music in any category that one could purchase in 1962 (and it's no slouch multiple decades out, either)".

"As the house band of Stax, Booker T. & the MG's defined an entire label's sound by anonymously shaping countless classic records. However, they were always more than just backing ... This remaster features a pair of bonus tracks in the form of 1965 live recordings from the 5/4 Ballroom in Los Angeles featuring new bassist Duck Dunn, one of which is inevitably Green Onions. Taken at a faster clip, it rather misses the point of the leisurely power of the original".

"While this is by no means Booker T. & the M.G.s' best album - that honor goes rather handily to their belated 1965 follow-up, Soul Dressing - it provides a glimpse of the Stax sound at its inception and should be considered essential listening".
