Pitchfork	8.6/10^[8]

John Bush of AllMusic said: "The metallic beats, high-energy impact, and futuristic effects prove that Moroder was ahead of his time like few artists of the 1970s (Kraftwerk included), and the free-form songwriting on tracks like 'Lost Angeles', 'First Hand Experience in Second Hand Love', and the title track are priceless."^[7] Dominique Leone of Pitchfork gave the album an 8.6 out of 10, calling it "a marvel for disco historians" and "a perfect nugget of dance music for anyone else".^[8]

In 2004, Pitchfork placed it at number 88 on the "Top 100 Albums of the 1970s" list.^[9] In 2015, Thump placed it at number 19 on the "99 Greatest Dance Albums of All Time" list.^[10]
