The Penguin Guide to Blues Recordings wrote: "Burnin' is another album cut at a single session but it has more texture and spirit than Travelin'. Hooker presides over 11 tracks of uncomplicated danceable music, pushed by the saxes".[3] AllMusic reviewer Al Campbell stated: "Burnin' was released in 1962 and combines 12 tracks of electric material performed by Hooker backed by a band ... recommended".[2]
