Critical reception

More information Review scores, Source ...

The Philadelphia Inquirer wrote that G. Love's "carefree playing refracts the blues into a slew of unlikely colors, and his rapping, a style he calls 'ragmop', is one of the most significant updates of blues phrasing since British rockers took a shine to the sound in the mid-'60s."[7] The Globe and Mail concluded that "it's nothing profound and it will no doubt get up the nose of both blues and rap purists, but it's good dumb fun nonetheless."[8]

The album was included in the book 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die.[9]
