Chris Murray, reviewer of RPM, considered that "this album has something to please everybody" and it "sounding better with each listen." In the end he expressed a hope that this LP "will eventually get the proper recognition."[5] Tom Demalton of AllMusic gave a mostly positive review of Free, proclaiming it a "worthwhile follow-up" showing "considerable amount of growth in both the songwriting and playing" since the debut album.
