Entertainment Reviews:
Rolling Stone - 12/10/99, pp.124-125
3.5 stars (out of 5) - "...Rock and rollers cotton to Hooker because,...he has a hook; the boogie beat, a vamping-drone that's propulsuive at any speed....the guests, all instrumental, except Raitt and his old fan Van Morrison, open it up..."Entertainment Weekly - 10/23/98, p.80
"...Older tracks range from the too slick...to the gutsy....some of the choicest cuts are new...[and] show Hooker's lessons have been well learned." - Rating: BVibe - 12/98, 1/99, p.192
"...Three tracks are new, including a tension-filled rendition of Hooker's classic 'Boogie Chillen'....More than 50 years after the inventor of boogie blues first got his mojo workin', it still hasn't quit..."Living Blues - 1-2/99, p.78
"...[does] a good job of supplementing the master. If you don't have Hooker's releases from the past ten years and wanta taste of them. [FRIENDS] offers just that."Mojo (Publisher) - 10/01, p.168
