Critical reception

John Bush of AllMusic said: "The metallic beats, high-energy impact, and futuristic effects prove that Moroder was ahead of his time like few artists of the 1970s (Kraftwerk included), and the free-form songwriting on tracks like 'Lost Angeles', 'First Hand Experience in Second Hand Love', and the title track are priceless." Dominique Leone of Pitchfork gave the album an 8.6 out of 10, calling it "a marvel for disco historians" and "a perfect nugget of dance music for anyone else".

In 2004, Pitchfork placed it at number 88 on the "Top 100 Albums of the 1970s" list.[4] In 2015, Thump placed it at number 19 on the "99 Greatest Dance Albums of All Time" list.[5]
