Billboard magazine chose Respect as one of their 'Jazz Spotlight' albums for their 30 September 1967 issue and commented that:{{quote| "It's Smith at his best - and that means sales in the register".{{cite magazine |magazine=Billboard |title=Album Reviews |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=WygEAAAAMBAJ&pg=PT1 |date=30 September 1967 |publisher=Nielsen Business Media, Inc. |pages=82 |issn=0006-2510}}}}
AllMusic's review by Scott Yanow stated that Smith: {{quote| "...mostly sticks to then-current R&B hits on this out of print LP. He does what he can with "Mercy, Mercy, Mercy," a brief "Respect" and "Funky Broadway" while contributing his own blues "T-Bone Steak." The 31-minute set has its moments but no real surprises, yet it swings funkily throughout."}}
