Reception

The Allmusic review by Adam Greenberg awarded the album 3½ stars stating "This is basic New Orleans funky, bluesy rock & roll.... There's probably not anything new here stylistically, but that's really the key. The music is simultaneously fresh and nostalgic, conserved but energetic. It's not an adventurous sound the band is after here, but it's a terrific album full of fundamentals with quality performances all around.".
