The album, issued on the Columbia label (SX 6043), has been described as "one of the finest British R&B albums of the mid-'60s."
Style and content
Reviewing the album for AllMusic, Dave Thompson says that it ".. follows in the footsteps of its predecessors, a punchy R&B stomper that could (even should) have been recorded live, so high is the energy, and so abandoned the backing of the Blue Flames."[5]
