"Maybe it's not a major record but its mellowness is charming, and the two bluesmen play off each other like the longtime friends they are, which is an endearing thing to hear".

"The collaboration between Taj Mahal and Keb' Mo' sounds spontaneous, with mutual respect for each other and for what each one represents in the music. Keb' Mo' wrote most of the songs on TajMo and it has, in general, more of Keb's background despite the fact that he said that Taj Mahal became a mentor to him".

"Taj Mahal, in his mid-seventies, and Keb' Mo', 65, are playing through the long winter of their careers ... Fortunately, Mahal and Mo' have enough gas left in their tanks to make their first collaborative album, recorded in Mo's home studio over two-and-a-half years".

"Although the blues provides the foundation, the 11 tracks cover a surprising range of material, from acoustic blues duets to gospel-flavored R&B and from hard-driving blues rock to Afro-Caribbean grooves ... A summit of two blues men from different generations, TajMo simultaneously stays true to their roots and branches out with a broad popular appeal".

"A mostly easygoing collaboration between two fine bluesmen of different generations, united in their gnarled amiability. "Don't Leave Me Here" is a rough-edged, funky opener and there are entertaining covers of Sleepy John Estes' "Diving Duck Blues" and (more surprisingly) The Who's "Squeeze Box" ... Not all the material featured on the album is as distinctive as its best bits, but the band are tight, the mood is right and the whole thing gets by on sincerity and gritty charm".
