Critical reception

PopMatters wrote that "among all the honorable, likable, vaguely disappointing numbers, there is one song, King's own 'Neighborhood Affair,' that provides a startling reminder that B.B. King is not simply a blues icon, not simply the affable symbol of a music that even non-fans can identify."[7] The Washington Post called the album "safe and predictable" and "a minor footnote" in King's career.[1]
