Review from Bruce Eder on All Music : 
Bluesbreakers with Eric Clapton was 's first fully realized album as a blues guitarist -- more than that, it was a seminal blues album of the 1960s, perhaps the best British blues album ever cut, and the best LP ever recorded by John Mayall's Bluesbreakers. Standing midway between 's stint with  and the formation of , this album featured the new guitar hero on a series of stripped-down blues standards, Mayall pieces, and one Mayall/ composition, all of which had him stretching out in the idiom for the first time in the studio. This album was the culmination of a very successful year of playing with John Mayall, a fully realized blues creation, featuring sounds very close to the group's stage performances, and with no compromises. Credit has to go to producer  for the purity and simplicity of the record; most British producers of that era wouldn't have been able to get it recorded this way, much less released. One can hear the very direct influence of  and a handful of other American bluesmen in the playing. And lest anyone forget the rest of the quartet: future pop/rock superstar  and drummer  provide a rock-hard rhythm section, and Mayall's organ playing, vocalizing, and second guitar are all of a piece with 's work. His guitar naturally dominates most of this record, and he can also be heard taking his first lead vocal, but  and  are just as intense and give the tracks an extra level of steel-strung tension and power, none of which have diminished across several decades.
