[11] The Toronto Star praised the "scalding, inventive tracks like Dural's own 'We're Having a Party', an experimental groove that levitates zydeco into the land of George Clinton psychofunk, replete with Hidalgo's sniping guitar, pop-bass and interplay of horns and accordion.

"[13] The Gazette wrote that "Buckwheat chooses his cover songs with a beautifully blithe disregard for stylistic boundaries.

"[21] The Chicago Tribune noted that "Hidalgo has had plenty of experience navigating those narrow straits where traditional sounds and contemporary styles can mingle smoothly and not create a roiling mess.

"[14] The Orlando Sentinel deemed the title track "a rocking instrumental with a wonderful, bluesy guitar solo.

"[10] AllMusic concluded that "this is superior in many ways to the music of [Clifton] Chenier ... due to its generally happier mood and quicker, more emphasized beats and basslines.
