In Christgau's Record Guide: Rock Albums of the Seventies (1981), Robert Christgau said the album "meanders more than is conscionable", but was "most pleased to report that the opener, 'In My Arms Again,' is the first top-notch song [Mayfield]'s written for himself since 'Super Fly,' (somebody bad riffing on guitar—sounds like . . . Curtis Mayfield), and that the three that follow rock and roll."[1]
