Critical reception
Шаблон:Album ratings Robert Christgau called the album an obvious attempt by Alligator to win for Collins a Grammy.[7] The St. Petersburg Times deemed it "a hefty dose of Texas-style blues, augmented by the sounds of Chicago's south side."[8] The Globe and Mail wrote that "Jimmy McGriff and the Uptown Horns contribute more smooth edges to music that has the usual Collins power but not the usual Collins urgency."[9]
The Chicago Tribune wrote: "The skeptical should head directly to 'Too Many Dirty Dishes', where Collins' riffs seem to be literally scrubbing the pots and pans."[10] The Providence Journal-Bulletin declared that "what really strikes the listener this time is the masterful, ice-blue singing—tasty as a snow cone and brutal as frostbite—and the wry, semi-detached lyrics."[6]
AllMusic opined that Collins is "at his best when he's just playing the blues, not when he's trying to sing."[11]
