The New York Times wrote that the album "has ripping funk guitar and upbeat melodies that will sound familiar to the Spin Doctors' fans."[1] In a review of a live show to promote the album, the Hartford Courant wrote that Nice Talking to Me "tunes such as 'Margarita' actually offered some indication the band might still have some boing left in its coils."[7]
