Allmusic found the album "an entirely pleasant listen" and praised the jazz quartet backing Scaggs, but rated the album as poor, citing Scaggs' "sometimes too casual" phrasing and criticizing his approach as predictable rather than fresh; [2] on the other hand, it reached #1 on the Billboard Top Jazz Albums chart, and was a "critical and commercial triumph".
