Reception
The Allmusic review by Thom Jurek awarded the album 4 stars and stated "there is a deep nighttime feeling to this disc; there are few tracks featuring the fire-spitting, wood-splintering knot-like runs that come flailing off the strings and melt the brain of the listener. This is a riff- and song-oriented recording (yes, there are vocals) that accent the blues and gospel side of Ulmer's playing... There are one or two misses here, but they're no big deal compared to the wealth of good stuff".
