Allmusic reviewer Bill Dahl stated "Another rare glimpse at Magic Sam hard at work, this time at another fabled West side haunt ... Sam launches into another terrific set of numbers that for the most part he never recorded in the studio -- songs by Freddy King, Albert Collins, James Robins, Junior Parker, and Jimmy McCracklin that briliiantly suited his soaring pipes and singular guitar style".
