In his retrospective review for Allmusic, critic Joe Viglione called the album "interesting and still listenable" but wrote "Slick arrangements and big production eliminate the charm of the earlier recordings.. and has little surprise and none of the sparkle of the Sloan/Barri days, but it is not without merit."[5]
