The New York Times wrote that "until the gospelly title song, both Mr. King's voice and guitar are obscured by horns, keyboards, backup vocals and booming drums; the album needs a remix to eliminate clutter and sweetening." [16] The Calgary Herald stated that King "comes back with a bluesy sashay that's contemporary and comfortable." [14]
The Toronto Star deemed the album "nice, laid-back blues." [17] Ebony concluded that "the gritty 'Mean and Evil' reflects his Mississippi upbringing, while the moving, melancholy title song is sure to be a blues classic." [18] The Chicago Tribune called "The Lowdown" "a classic after-hours blues, tailor-made for King's impassioned vocals." [7]
All tracks composed by Joe Sample and Will Jennings; except where indicated
