Critical reception

JazzTimes thought that Robillard "has the appropriately funky, slicing tone on 'T-Bone Shuffle', and 'T-Bone Boogie'."[7]

AllMusic wrote that "the barroom blues and drum brushes on 'Love Is a Gamble' takes things down to a creepy crawl, bringing to mind Dr. John or Delbert McClinton."[3]
