Critical reception

The Indianapolis Star wrote that "the accent is on ballads, with 'Morning Love' and the dreamy 'Sensitive Lover' among the best." USA Today noted that "Ernie's fret work is as sensual as Ronald's purring falsetto." The Chicago Tribune determined that some of the tracks "are as achingly beautiful as anything the band recorded during its heyday in the late '70s." The Boston Herald deemed the album "seldom more than a seductive display of professionalism."
