Allmusic reviewer Scott Yanow stated "From deep in the vaults of Apollo Records comes this sensational collection of 1949 artifacts by the veteran pianist, along with sides by singer St. Louis Jimmy, young pianist Willie Mabon, and two unissued sides by guitarist Jimmy Rogers ... all from the emerging heyday of the genre.".[6]
