Reception

AllMusic says that this album has "no real weak cuts" with "a good number of true gems" but mentions that the audio recorded is subpar for the studio. The Penguin Guide to Blues Recordings, however, warms to the audio, equating it to "the sweaty vigour of a juke-join Saturday night." According to reviewer Chris Smith, between this and Rock the Night, Promised Land "has the edge, but only just."
