Critical reception

Billboard called Big Daddy "both nostalgic and refreshing."[12]

AllMusic thought that "White conjures up in the studio the essence of the revival sound: a man, a guitar, and an authentic delivery."[7] The Commercial Appeal wrote: "Slide master White ... manhandled his guitar, a force of nature that was akin to watching a dam break and the flood of blues run wild. His singing, even at this, his final session, matched every defiant, plucked note."[8]

The Day deemed the album "genuine and powerful," and named the reissue one of the best albums of 2004.[13] The New Rolling Stone Record Guide called it "an important source of delta styles," writing that "White did have a powerful bottleneck style."[11]
