The material here is among the best of Hopkins' later recording career, a good rival to his return to blues on Jewel after years of catering to acoustic folk audiences -- recorded before a live audience, he plays his electric guitar down and dirty, getting it to "talk" in some surprisingly crisp and articulate tones. Most of the material ("I Heard My Baby Crying," "My Baby Laid Out All Night," "Rock Me Late At Night" etc.) is extended to four or five minutes or more, and it's all in duophonic stereo, with voice on one channel and guitar on the other, which makes it really cool for anyone who just wants to concentrate on the playing. ~ Bruce Eder, All Music Guide
