Writing for Allmusic, critic Scott Yanow wrote in his review: "A great guitarist who was very versatile (jazz, country, rock) yet very underrated, the late Lenny Breau was at his best in informal settings where he could stretch out... These well-recorded selections feature Breau at his best... Easily recommended to Lenny Breau fans and listeners wanting to discover a major guitarist."[2]

gollark: To drive more drama, they would occasionally just vanish from scrolls for no reason.
gollark: Post enough in Suggestions/Requests and it would appear annoyingly placed in the middle of your scroll.
gollark: The last one would also be obtainable via drama, then.
gollark: Finally, one would be obtainable by demanding one from God-Emperor TJ09.
gollark: One would be put in the *AP* at random.
