Stephen Thomas Erlewine of AllMusic said, "Of course, this is hardly a hard rock record, but it's a first-class Californian pop record, one that is as blissful as a sunset when it lays back, and as incandescent as a day at the beach when the tempo is sprightly." [5]

Singles

"Make It with You" peaked at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 and No. 4 on the Billboard Easy Listening chart. [2]
