Cashbox published a review of the album in the issue dated June 28, 1969, which said, "Mavis Staples, of the famed Staple Singers gospel group, goes solo and soul in this Steve Cropper-produced set, and the album's appeal could easily spread to the underground/contemporary market. Mavis unleashes a trained, experienced and powerful voice on such items as "The Choking Kind," "A House Is Not a Home," "Son of a Preacher Man," "Chained," "Security" and "You Send Me."
