Critical reception

Exclaim! called the album "good, basic, well-produced country and swing-influenced rockabilly."[1] The Austin Chronicle panned the "Gap-ready numbers like 'Sleeper Coach Driver' and 'Hand It to Me'," writing that "one Big Bad Voodoo Daddy is more than enough."[12] Trouser Press wrote that "The Rev relocated his songwriting mojo for an album full of tasty rockabilly, swinging grooves and good old-fashioned stomp."[2] CMJ New Music Report deemed it "a skillfully choreographed saloon rumble of an album."[10]
