Cashbox said the album showed "Roy’s unique style is just as well utilized on the ballads like 'Born to Love Me' and 'Old Love Song'." [7]

Jim Evans of Record Mirror noted that "Big O's distinctive voice is still there, sensitive without being sentimental. [Foster] gives the cold Orblson treatment to Tony Joe White's 'Southern Man', 'Belinda' and Kristofferson's 'Something They Can't Take Away'." [6]
