A review in Billboard recommends this album to retailers for having an "interesting and winning pressing" and the publication highlighted several key tracks.[1] Editors at AllMusic Guide scored this release three out of five stars, with critic Ron Wynn noting the strength of the vocalists, particularly on the title track and characterizes their work as "a solid job".[2] The 1992 edition of The Rolling Stone Album Guide rated this release 2.5 out of five stars.[3] The album was produced by Frank Wilson who had earlier in 1970 scored a major comeback for the Four Tops with the Still Waters Run Deep release. These two albums were on the market at the same time as follow up The Magnificent 7, with Changing Times having the weakest sales of them all.
