Reviewing for AllMusic critic Richie Unterberger wrote of the album: "Some of these [songs] are really good: the raucous 1965 cover of James Brown's 'Shout and Shimmy,' 'Heaven and Hell' (one of John Entwistle's better tunes), the 45 version of 'Mary Anne with the Shaky Hand,' the obscure Roger Daltrey tune 'Here for More.' Other cuts are pretty peripheral, like the '65 R&B version of 'Lubie (Come Back Home),' or the live version of 'Bargain.'"

gollark: I do have an archive of all my pastes there, but if they do kill it completely I'll have to fix a lot of stuff.
gollark: Pastebin's VERY harsh rate limiting means PotatOS Tau actually has to fall back to my server for updates half the time.
gollark: It's also case-sensitive now, breaking SO many things.
gollark: I started up a git server and moved potatOS to it because of the bad changes they badly made.
