Ken Tucker of The Philadelphia Inquirer described the album as "a collection of songs that demonstrate Atlantic Starr's skill at creating brisk, funky pop songs." Johnny Loftus of AllMusic wrote, "The album could have used more vocals from the talented Barbara Weathers, but it's still a well-appointed record that offers fans much more than just the Whitney-flavored single." [8] [5]

Robert K. Oermann of USA Today also ranked this album at No. 33 on his list of 1987's top 50 R&B albums. [9]
