AllMusic | [4] |
AllMusic reviewer Stephen Thomas Earlewine stated "Sweet Giant of the Blues, a 1969 session for Bluestime released in 1970, is one of his very last albums and if it can't be called definitive, it's nevertheless a robust example of his gifts. ... This is loose and unpredictable in a predictable fashion, delving into a little bit of Latin beats and rhumba and a whole lot of rock & roll ... Spann seems to seize the changes and enjoys playing with the band, never trying to play against his support". [4]
