Reception
Allmusic's Jason Ankeny said: "Dakota Staton's second Groove Merchant session refines the hip contemporary sound first introduced via the preceding Madame Foo Foo. Paired with arranger Manny Albam, she veers further away from conventional jazz sensibilities into soul, a move that perfectly complements her impassioned approach. Its earthy title notwithstanding, I Want a Country Man boasts an urbane stylishness that underscores the late-night ambience of the set. Albam's lovely arrangements serve both Staton and the material, adding depth and energy".[3]
