The album was recorded in a week, with Harris choosing to do only a few takes of each song.
The Chicago Tribune thought that Harris's "strategy is to jam blues effortlessly as possible with Jamaican reggae, African dance music and Chicago soul, and mostly it works—his gently grooving version of the late Little Milton's signature 'A Nickel and a Nail' is the album's peak." The Philadelphia Daily News deemed the album "a rootsy yet contemporary global folk fete festooned with sinewy African high life, Jamaican reggae, New Orleans blues and jazz flavors."
The Chicago Sun-Times considered it to be one of the 10 best blues album of 2005, writing that "the ethnomusicolical bluesman sometimes comes off as a know-it-all, but this well-crafted disc remembers that making music is supposed to be fun, not a classroom exercise." The Tampa Tribune concluded that "from the title track forward, Harris embarks on a global journey of African-influenced roots music."
AllMusic wrote that "perhaps the most amazing thing about this album is how ultimately American it sounds ... in spite of its Caribbean and African lilt, a testament to how well Harris pulls all these different international strands together without losing sight of where his musical journey began."
