Allmusic[1]

Te John, Grease, & Wolfman received three and a half stars out of five from Michael B. Smith of Allmusic.[1] Smith concludes that "Daniels rocks with the intensity of a downbound train on 'Great Big Bunches of Love,' and on his cover of the Jerry Lee Lewis chestnut 'Drinkin' Wine, Spo-Dee-O-Dee.' A true Southern poet, Charlie Daniels is seen here in the infancy of his artistic development, but even at this early stage, the poet is alive and well.".[1]
