Cash Box stated in their review of the album that "The title is a hard promise for deliverance's sake. But the commercial B. B. most of his current fans have come to take as the whole of the man is indeed here" and noted that "The album does address itself to his earlier blues by including live versions of B. B. staples like 'Sweet Sixteen,' but in general, it concentrates on more recent material. Lots of heavy guests, but the real King of the blues knows who he is. And so do we". [6]
