AllMusic[4]
The Penguin Guide to Blues Recordings[5]

AllMusic reviewer Scott Yanow stated: "this set is worth checking out if quite obscure".[4] Chris Smith wrote in The Penguin Guide to Blues Recordings: "her pitch is sometimes uncertain and her interpretations are anonymous, neither sweet enough for ballads nor salty enough for blues."[5]
