Critical reception

edit

AllMusic wrote that "Bland displays his vocal power throughout Here's the Man! using his volcanic, guttural delivery to easily work through Joe Scott's galvanizing arrangements, especially on 'Twistin' up the Road' and 'Turn on Your Love Light'."[2] Billboard called Here's the Man! a "fine album ... which shows off [Bland's] stylish vocal treatments."[9] In an appreciation published after Bland's death, Texas Monthly wrote: "Blues could be orchestral, blues could be lush, blues could sound as urbane as it wanted to sound."[8]

The album was a 2024 inductee to the Blues Hall of Fame.[10]
