The album appeared after the initial success of the Jimi Hendrix Experience in 1967, and consists of old studio recordings from years before that had not been intended for release, with Hendrix performing in the backing band during sessions for an album by Knight.

[4][5] The album was reviewed by Norman Jopling and, or Peter Jones in the February 3, 1968 issue of Record Mirror.

The reviewer wasn't sure of which tracks Curtis Knight or Jimi Hendrix sang on.

Noting that the album was recorded before "Hey Joe", the reviewer said that most of the songs had the power and rhythm Hendrix was known for in his later work.

The reviewer also said that the guitar came though strong and even though it wasn't a current representation of Hendrix, it was an album for the kids who enjoyed loud music with an R&B and psychedelic base.

[6] Along with Magical Mystery Tour by the Beatles and Wild Honey by the Beach Boys, Get That Feeling was one of the three best-selling albums on Capitol Records as noted by Record World in the magazine's 13 January 1968 issue.

[8] The record was reviewed by "Lori" in the 9 March 1968 issue of the Canadian magazine RPM Weekly.
