I used that several times and it always worked great. You'll probably loose the first partition at first (it searches for filesystem signatures and may fail to find the first partition's filesystem), but it should find all the rest. Once you've written the guessed partition table, just use cfdisk (or any other fdisk you're comfy with) to create a maximum-sized partition in the first free area. Depending on the filesystem used there, you may even be able to get back the remaining data.
