Richie Unterberger, in his review for Allmusic, says "Despite the title, this actually leans considerably further to the jazz side of Witherspoon's muse than the blues one... Witherspoon's one of the masters of closing-time bluesy jazz, and he doesn't let anyone down on that account on this relaxed (but not sleepy) session".[2]
