AllMusic reviewer Bruce Eder stated: "The repertory here is perhaps a little more traditional gospel in orientation, and the songs more cautionary in nature – but that doesn't stop Davis from displaying some overpowering dexterity, and if anything his singing is even more exuberant here. And this time out, in addition to his six-string guitar, he treats us to his powerful 12-string playing ... the result is an album as fine as its predecessor, and an equally worthy part of any serious acoustic blues collection".
