The Windsor Star wrote that the album "is one of the most challenging, enjoyable new releases of 1988... Talk To Your Daughter combines some traditional blues elements, as in 'Born Under a Bad Sign' and the marvellous title tune, with more adventurous things, like 'Help the Poor', to create an aural tapestry of bluesy music that is played with intensity and a strong sense of balance."[5]
