Review from AllMusic (by Jason Ankeny):
I'm the Boss Card in Your Hand, 1937-1960 stands as the definitive Black Ace collection to date -- not only does Arhoolie's CD reissue include the entirety of their original 1960 release, but it also appends previously unissued material from the same session and even tosses in a half-dozen tracks from his 1937 Decca label debut. Thanks largely to its steadfast refusal to fit easily into any kind of regional genre pigeonhole, Ace's music possesses a beautifully timeless quality; and though he's a poignant vocalist, the real treat here is his slide guitar mastery, as instrumentals like "Ace's Guitar Blues" and "Bad Times Stomp" reveal a unique hybrid sound successfully bridging the gap between the Delta and Hawaiian styles.

Resena de AllMusic (por Jason Ankeny):
I'm the Boss Card in Your Hand, 1937-1960 se erige como la coleccion definitiva de Black Ace hasta la fecha -- la reedicion en CD de Arhoolie no solo incluye la totalidad de su lanzamiento original de 1960, sino que tambien anade material inedito de la misma sesion e incluso suma media docena de temas de su debut con el sello Decca en 1937. Gracias en gran medida a su firme negativa a encajar facilmente en cualquier categoria de genero regional, la musica de Ace posee una cualidad atemporal y hermosa; y aunque es un vocalista conmovedor, el verdadero deleite aqui es su dominio de la guitarra slide, ya que instrumentales como "Ace's Guitar Blues" y "Bad Times Stomp" revelan un sonido hibrido unico que logra unir la brecha entre los estilos del Delta y el hawaiano.
