Fred Goodman wrote in the New York Times: "Dion has come back to his prerock roots with 'Bronx in Blue' . . . a spare collection of acoustic blues standards. . . . Accompanying himself deftly on acoustic guitar -- one of the album's surprises -- he added only occasional guitar overdubs and minimal percussion, trying to replicate the feel of blues classics like John Lee Hooker's 'Walkin' Boogie' by miking his foot. Though the album was recorded in a Miami studio, Dion sounds as if he were sitting in his bedroom playing for himself. . . . 'I don't sing black, I don't sing white, I sing Bronx,' he said." ("A King of the Bronx Reclaims His Country-Blues Heart," 1/4/06).
