"Throughout the 11-song disc, King summons his lead guitar powers with hurricane force…. But King also plays a lot of cool rhythm parts—something he certainly wouldn't have done for just anyone. You can really hear him grooving on 'Pride and Joy' (which King calls 'that fast thing—that rap thing'), adding horn-like jabs at every turn…. On 'Blues at Sunrise,' King urges Vaughan to play like Jimi Hendrix. Stevie responds with a volley of riffs, but here and elsewhere he also shows remarkable restraint, respectfully reigning in his awesome abilities in deference to the elder bluesman…. Hearing Vaughan's fierce precision in one chorus and King's bare-knuckled response in the next is a rare treat."—Guitar Player
