AllMusic3/5 stars[3]

Richard S. Ginell of AllMusic called it a "somewhat tepid brew of mostly R&B/slanted pop/jazz music with a whiff of disco now and then, utilizing Harris' array of straight and electronically-altered vocals, lots of acoustic tenor sax, and some piano" and said "Although EH's personal sax sound is always recognizable, and he is more crisply recorded than on any of his Atlantic records, the LP's anonymous, pre-packaged '70s feeling drains much of Harris' personality right out of the studio".[3]
