“Hooker’s earliest Riverside albums presented him playing solo acoustic guitar, in a conscious effort to direct his work to listeners outside the R&B audience. Opinions differ on the matter, but this outing is more interesting than his solo acoustic Riverside records, due to the presence of a supporting rhythm section on most of the tracks. The liner notes (in the fashion of the day) are almost apologetic about this, emphasizing that it’s not to create R&B rhythms, but “to free Hooker from the burden of carrying the full rhythm load.” To make matters more palatable for the purists, maybe that’s why a couple of jazz players were chosen for the job (bassist Sam Jones and drummer Louis Hayes, who formed the rhythm section for Cannonball Adderley at the time). What’s important is not how pure the music is, but that it’s a decent album, striking a good midpoint between his acoustic and electric sound.” — All Music Guide
