Allmusic reviewer Bill Dahl stated "Another rare glimpse at Magic Sam hard at work, this time at another fabled West side haunt ... Sam launches into another terrific set of numbers that for the most part he never recorded in the studio -- songs by Freddy King, Albert Collins, James Robins, Junior Parker, and Jimmy McCracklin that briliiantly suited his soaring pipes and singular guitar style".[3]

gollark: There's a table in the database with a bunch of links in and out.
gollark: Oh, it does do that.
gollark: Thus, WHAT DO?!?!?!?!
gollark: However, this would require more complex code and possibly make rendering generally slower.
gollark: So I would probably need to run through the AST and find all the wikilinks, then execute one query to fetch *all* the relevant information, which I think should be faster.
