Critical reception

Alex Henderson of Allmusic, in a 4.5\5 star review, exclaimed "When B.T. Express' second album, Non-Stop, came out in 1975, Scepter assumed that it would fare well in dance clubs -- and sure enough, club DJs went wild over this record...Up-tempo material is what defines Non-Stop and makes it one of the band's finest, most essential albums."
