"Joe Németh has an acceptable singing voice, despite lacking body and variety of texture, and it fits passable originals and well-selected cover material from Otis Rush, Howard Tate and Roy Orbison ... The present-day Bo-keys (...) take obvious delight in furthering the Memphis blues-soul tradition with Németh".

"The seven-man band, anchored by veteran Hi Rhythm Section drummer Howard Grimes, is a perfect foil for the singer's increasingly pliant pipes, which he uses to navigate melismas and wide melodic intervals with pitch-perfect aplomb ... He blows some darn good harp on the disc, but more significantly, he shows himself to be one hell of a singer".
