Critical reception
The Los Angeles Times wrote that the songs "steer a nondescript commercial course that echoes Steel Pulse and UB40." The Chicago Tribune dismissed the album as "a dismaying collection of disco-reggae that, despite its title, remains determinedly faceless." The Times-Picayune noted the "commercial sound" and "heavy rock 'n' roll influence."
