The release was credited to Doug Sahm - A.K.A. The Texas Tornado. Watermelon Records released the album as S.D.Q. 98 in the United States in October 1998. The Austin American-Statesman gave the album three stars out of five, and called it a "happily jumbled affair". Meanwhile, AllMusic rated it with four-and-a-half stars out of five. Critic Eugene Chadbourne felt that "musically there is enough (on the album) to create a tidal wave."
