Critical reception
The New York Daily News called the album "a testimony to their rising recording and producing talents." The Ann Arbor News praised "Top of the Stairs" and "Don't Cost You Nothing" but opined that the album was not "vintage" Ashford & Simpson. The Lincoln Journal Star considered it "pretty tough and funky for contemporary r&b arrangements."
The Windsor Star said that the duo "can suggest drama and tension within the most familiar themes of love". The Globe and Mail concluded that "neither sings very well, and their studio is no longer the place where the good backup musicians hang out."
