Critical reception

The Gazette wrote that "side one finds pop-funk's most blatant copycat in his Prince mode." The Chicago Tribune dismissed the album as "the same schtick he's been using since his Raydio days... Not only is it old, but it's been done with a lot more humor and style by Morris Day." Knight Ridder labeled the album "both the smoothest and the slimiest soul-rock on the shelves today."
