In his review for AllMusic, Stewart Mason commented: "Oh Lord, Let Me Do No Wrong is a mellow and peaceful set by a player who no longer needs to make noise; whether old-school fans will appreciate this is debatable."[2]

Chris May for All About Jazz says this about Leon Thomas' contributions to the album: "Thomas is heard on three tracks: "Oh Lord, Let Me Do No Wrong," which could almost be from the Spirits Known and Unknown sessions, and "If It Wasn't For A Woman" and "Next Time You See Me," which are downhome carnal blues."[4]
