Reception

The initial Billboard review from October 12, 1963 commented that Vaughan was "really swinging on this album", and described it as a "must for Sassy's fans" with "radiation on both sides of the footlights".

Scott Yanow on AllMusic gave the album four and a half stars out of five and commented that the album was a "gem" and that this "wonderful live session" was "one of her very best of the 1960s".
