Allmusic gave the album a 4 stars, stating "Atlantic got enough from McCann's set to put out a hot double album loaded with gritty vocals, gospel-drenched electric piano, cooking instrumentals, plenty of his popular protest songs, and a few new numbers such as the driving "Cochise"".[3]

gollark: My other piano is powered by a room of 20047 potatoes wired to electrodes.
gollark: My superior piano is powered via Tesla coil and sometimes just lightning, and communicates with other devices by bouncing radio signals off the moon.
gollark: Want to charge your laptop? Point your giant antenna dish in its general direction and enjoy losing most of the power and probably cooking yourself but enjoying the sheer freedom of not having to fiddle with the cables.
