A review in Billboard recommends this album to retailers for its "sophisticated sound".[1] Editors at AllMusic Guide scored this release 2.5 out of five stars, with critic John Bush noting how producer Frank Wilson pushed the band to experiment on this recording, but characterizing this album as "curiosities, though, perfect for hardcore Motown fans listeners interested in digging deeper".[2] Bush also reviewed a 2001 compilation of this album and Yesterday`s Dreams from 2001, calling the collection dominated by "ill-advised covers" that "hardly made for great listening anytime after" its initial release.[3] The 1992 edition of The Rolling Stone Album Guide rated this release three out of five stars.[4]
