Critical reception

Marty Guntar writing for Blues Blast Magazine described it as having a "superstar lineup" and that "the end product is head-and-shoulders her best", stating that he "Highly recommended" the album.[2]

Bill Brownlee writing for NPR in Kansas City wrote positively about the album, describing the songs as "sturdy" while praising Fish's guitar work and vocal strength. He also praised the production work of Luthar Dickinson noting that Luthar gave the band a "house-rocking sound". He was however critical of the decision to market the album as blues rather than rock, which he felt was limiting for her career. [3]
