AllMusic[6]

Jonathan Widran of AllMusic rated the album 3 out of 5 stars, calling Lasley "one of the better-known" backing vocalists and praising the album's hooks and emotional delivery. He described the sound as having a "warm, simple '70s or early-'80s" quality, highlighting Lasley's voice as deserving more recognition in the foreground of popular music.[7]

The Grand Rapids Press described the album as a "smooth-jazz, pop and R&B offering" that "made a splash on jazz radio in Great Britain" upon its earlier UK release.[8]

Glenn Hoskins and Barry Towler of Record Corner noted Lasley's "passionate and soaring falsetto" and affirmed the album's appeal for fans of soul and adult pop.[1]
