Reception
Billboard magazine chose Respect as one of their 'Jazz Spotlight' albums for their 30 September 1967 issue and commented that "It's Smith at his best - and that means sales in the register".
AllMusic awarded the album two stars and its review by Scott Yanow stated that Smith "...mostly sticks to then-current R&B hits on this out of print LP. He does what he can with "Mercy, Mercy, Mercy," a brief "Respect" and "Funky Broadway" while contributing his own blues "T-Bone Steak." The 31-minute set has its moments but no real surprises, yet it swings funkily throughout."
