"Magic Slim knows how NOT to overdo a good thing - a rare feat in modern blues. It's as if he was still constrained by a 78 RPM disc. The guitar solos on "Hard to Handle" and "Gravel Road" are tasty, leaving you wanting more. He's got a funky strum technique visible on "Slims Hideaway" and "Mustang Sally" - subtle and very effective. A superlative artist who has not outstayed his welcome in the least!"

"If you're want to get just one studio recording of the Teardrops to sample their sound, this is probably the one to get, recorded before long-time rhythm guitarist John Primer went solo. It is anchored by two great songs--"Cold Women With Warm Hearts" and Slim's slap in the face treatment of "Mustang Sally.""
