Reception
AllMusic reviewer Bruce Eder stated "This album is almost worth owning just for the cover photo of Bo Diddley and the Duchess, aka Norma-Jean Wofford, each with their axe. What makes it really cool, though, is the music, which is among the best of Diddley's 1960s output. ... It was records like this that helped keep Diddley's reputation alive in England when Americans stopped buying his stuff".
