Rolling Stone (4/19/69, p.28) - "...There's an urgency and bite to every track...As an electric guitarist, Winter is explosive, fluid, percussive, and driving..."
Dirty Linen (4-5/00, p.95) - "...Winter's music speaks for itself. Relying on simple back-up provided by a bassist and drummer, Winter cuts his way through 10 smoking blues tracks..."
Mojo (Publisher) (p.114) - 4 stars out of 5 - "[R]aw, basic blues delivered by Winter plus bassist Tommy Shannon....His singing was equally forceful and raw, true to the roots without denying that he was merely a Texan rocker at heart."
