Critical reception
AllMusic wrote that "when Starr really turns up the funk and emphasizes keyboards and synthesizers, Flaming Starr predicts the synth-funk/electro-hop era; that is especially true on "Moving on Up" and the infectious "Dance to the Funky Groove"."[2] The Boston Globe declared that "Side 1 ... contains almost no excess - its songs make their point, grab a place in the listener's memory, and end."[5]
