Allmusic's Michael G. Nastos called it: "a clear effort to sell some records" and noted "this commercially inclined recording is all right, not his most essential, but likable in many more spots than not".[4] In JazzTimes, Ron Welburn wrote "Mr. Crawford is immersed in his grooves. Pyrotechnical wails are not associated with his recordings ... Consistency of a groove, however, remains his abiding principle, so much that Hank Crawford seems incapable of spoiling a good thing".[6] On All About Jazz, Douglas Payne stated "Here's a most pleasant surprise from the familiar tenor of Hank Crawford - a terrific collection of familiar soul/jazz tunes worthy of his deeply soulful skills and abundant talent ... a welcome return of one of the most revered sounds in soulful jazz".[7]
