AMG refers to this recording as a MUST FIND and assigns it four and a half stars.

We consider this one of our all-time favorite collections, and it's no wonder: Look at the personnel. We have here the first and best incarnation of the Nighthawks accompanied by the Muddy Waters band and additional outstanding talent. Blues authority Gerard Herzhaft, in his Encyclopedia of the Blues, considers Pinetop Perkins "at his best" on this collection.

This album is also recommended highly for shag dancers and other party-types.
