Cash Box reviewer described David Bromberg as "a treat from start to finish" with Bromberg's voice unorthodox but "curiously appropriate" to the songs, and his guitar playing "superb". The writer commented that Bromberg had already attracted a following through his club performances and session playing, particularly with Dylan, and that his "rough and ready romper" with Harrison was sure to be of "special interest". In his album review for The New York Times, Heckman found the LP a faithful representation of the "spoken‐sung songs of whimsey and sadness" that had become familiar through Bromberg's live performances. Although Bromberg's singing was not instantly attractive to some, he continued, "the directness with which he describes simple, but universal feelings, is rare talent, indeed."
