In a review for PopMatters, writer Michael Elliot wrote: "Gov't Mule's first strictly "all-blues" album, "Heavy Load Blues", is not-so-strictly that at all, but a soul-baring journey of the blues, mainly through the lens of soul and hard rock, in all its complexity, beauty, darkness, and glory."[4]
In the album's review at AllMusic, Thom Jurek said: "Heavy Load Blues is raw, heavy, and immediate, the sound of a band unfettered while pursuing a deep blue groove that never quits."[2]
