AllMusic[3]
The Penguin Guide to Blues Recordings[4]

AllMusic's Steve Legget called a CD compilation of the tracks "a pretty decent record," writing: "Sometimes you can just grab a handful of stuff and throw it at the wall and it magically sticks there in a pleasing pattern. One suspects that's the case here".[3] The Penguin Guide to Blues Recordings wrote: "In 'California Mudslide' Lightnin' adapts an old Texas flood blues to apply to recent heavy rains in the Golden State, but several other pieces have been dredged from deep in his repertoire and hardly altered".[4]
