Stephen Thomas Erlewine of AllMusic concludes his review with, "Blues at Sunrise is strong and entertaining, working quite well as a mood piece. It may not be revelatory, but if you strip away your qualms and quibbles, it's enjoyable."[2]

Jim Caligiuri of The Austin Chronicle gives this album 3 stars and writes, "While the concept of Blues at Sunrise is appealing and the music is top-notch, any novice SRV fans would be better served approaching his music from one of his original releases."[3]
