In a Cashbox magazine review, the writers of the magazine wrote Gerry Rafferty and Joe Egan "show enormous musical diversity in their lyrics and music in this album".[5] Record World stated it is "comprised predominantly of soft-paced pleasers ideal for both FM and pop play".[6] Billboard magazine states Egan and Rafferty "have surrounded themselves with a more 'commercial' backdrop, using strings and an overall more electric backup than on prior efforts", noting it is "more likely to appeal to the average consumer".[7]
