The album has received positive reviews from critics.

A review in Billboard recommended the album to retailers for the success of "Mama Said".

[1] Editors of AllMusic Guide gave this album 3.5 out of five stars, with critic Richie Unterberger noting the strong vocals of the group, but pointing out that the singles are much stronger than the other songs.

[2] The New Rolling Stone Album Guide rates this album three out of five stars, noting that this period of early Scepter albums was the band's most commercially and critically successful, due to the high-quality but risk-averse production from Luther Dixon.

[3] A 2017 reissue from Cornbread Records (catalogue code CRNBR16023) adds the final track "Please Be My Boyfriend".
