Critical reception
In
AllMusic, Cub Koda said: "King cranked out this solid, if typical, album for the Stax label after the success of Born Under a Bad Sign. With
Booker T. & the M.G.'s drummer
Al Jackson Jr. producing, the set includes such staples as "You Threw Your Love on Me Too Strong," "Wrapped up in Love Again," and a powerful version of
Howlin' Wolf's "Killing Floor." For fans of King's guitar work, the inclusion of the instrumental workouts on "You Don't Love Me" and "Drowning on Dry Land" are a special bonus. Not an essential Albert King album, but one of his good ones."[1]
