The success of Soulin' and his live album pushed up the sales of Lou Rawls's Carryin' On. He would go on to enjoy a lengthy, albeit uneven, commercial career. (US:20)
"This album swings with the best of them, along with the great vocals, as usual by Lou. Do not hesitate to purchase this LP if you dig Lou, swing blues, Motown sound. You won't be disappointed."
"He got a mild hit from this album with a fine rendition of On Broadway, but otherwise, it was another example of everything clicking except nothing sold. The production and arrangements were perfectly tailored."
"Rawls is one of the many R & B singers trained in gospel groups. Capitol tried to mould him in the same style as Nat King Cole, but ended up overproducing him and negating his talent, although the hits have a certain vitality."
