The Globe and Mail wrote that Sayer "has fully abandoned the style which pushed him on to the charts, a pop-disco hybrid... In its place, he has recently offered a plate full of mellow tunes, geared primarily to show off his vocal chords, which have in the past played second fiddle to large orchestras." [4]
AllMusic noted that "this album is one of the artist's most respectable in a large body of good work". [2]
