"Like his previous disc, this features his road band whose keyboard player, Wayne Sharp, is a major component of Burks' soulful sound ... The album's extended length is its only detriment (it would be more potent trimmed by a few tracks), but since there will be no more music from the guitarist, that criticism is mitigated by the unfortunate circumstances".
