AllMusic
The New Rolling Stone Record Guide

The Nevada State Journal called the album an "inoffensive but innocuous brand of R&B." Stereo Review deemed it a "Recording of Special Merit," writing that "there is an airiness to the melodies, which have a flavor often more reminiscent of Hall and Oates than of r-&-b."
