In review of 24 June 1989 David Spodek of RPM , admitted that album showcases Schon's talent but the overall effect could be mixed. He wrote: "This sounds like nothing more than another Journey record, and may end up fading away fast with only die-hard Journey fans providing it with any support at retail." [1]
