| AllMusic |   [2] |
In their review of the album, Billboard stated that "long in preparation, Carpenter's solo album shows same devotion to melodic craft and arrangement as his former duo's classic recordings. Vocals -which strike a Beach Boys/Four Freshmen mix on "Who Do You Love?" -may limit appeal slightly, but guest shots by Dusty Springfield and Dionne Warwick should garner swift top 40, AC play."[3]
