AllMusic editor Jonathan Widran rated the album four out of five stars. He noted that "keeping the spotlight on those million dollar harmonies, Silk pays its best homage when mixing contemporary funk rhythms with creative harmonic mixtures (including cool vocal percussion textures) [...] but they're also dynamite on traditional R&B productions [...] This exciting disc isn't about making a comeback, it's about showing love for the music that inspired Silk's heyday in the first place."
