Critical reception
Stereo Review wrote that "wailing harp, percolating organ and punchy horns make a perfect foil for Scott's scalding, raunchy Strat tones." The Sydney Morning Herald thought that "what really makes this album work... is Thelma Houston's wonderfully rich, gutsy vocals—a pleasant surprise."Track listing
