The critical response has been positive. Emma Johnston from Louder stated that the album contained "Timeless stuff created by a scholar of the genre".[5] Steve Yourglivch from Blues Matters noted, "There is a high standard of songwriting and musicianship throughout. The guests never overshadow Eli and his core band but add subtleties and nuances."[6]
