Reception

Bruce Eder from AllMusic gave the album 4 out of 5 stars, saying that "this is a highly polished concert recording if not the most exciting ever heard, with Campbell getting ample room not only to work out his very attractive singing but also give a vivid display of his talents on the electric and acoustic guitar."^[2]
