Allmusic[4]

Allmusic's Stephen Cook said: "Let's Stay Together is a great set by one of the masters of the Hammond B-3 organ sound".[4] On All About Jazz Douglas Payne noted "The music, unfortunately, isn't terribly memorable. But the R&B covers benefit by McGriff's outstanding blues touch and the funky "Tiki" and the glorious blues of "Old Grand Dad" (the only originals) are what make a McGriff album worth every dollar. Although nothing too surprising happens here, McGriff fans will want to pick up on this cut-out classic"[5]
