Critical reception
Scott Yanow of AllMusic declared, "Although George Duke planned to make this recording half R&B and half jazz, the former dominates. In fact, other than brief moments from the keyboardist/leader and short contributions by the likes of Dianne Reeves, Everette Harp, George Howard, Norman Brown and Jonathan Butler, this is essentially a highly produced R&B set".Personnel
