}}The Penguin Guide to Blues Recordings said it "contains half a dozen unremarkable performances taped at what sounds like a noisy party, and eight far more interesting passages of reminiscence in which Lightnin' describes his family, learning to play guitar, meeting Texas Alexander, making records and other topics".^[4] AllMusic's Ritchie Unterberger reviewed Straight Blues which collected the six songs songs from the project calling them: "typical Hopkins' performances, incorporating both narrative folky tunes with spoken introductions, and livelier boogies".^[5]
