Huff from 'Twisted Ears' calls the song "grand in its simplicity" where as critic Doug Collette from 'All About Jazz' praises Truck's slide guitar playing on the song, noting: "he is readily identifiable on 'Who Am I Telling You?'" but at the same time thinks that "neither these, nor other arrangements allow for much extended improvisation during which Trucksand/or Clapton and Cale."
