Critical reception
Stereo Review wrote that "wailing harp, percolating organ and punchy horns make a perfect foil for Scott's scalding, raunchy Strat tones."[5] The Sydney Morning Herald thought that "what really makes this album work ... is Thelma Houston's wonderfully rich, gutsy vocals—a pleasant surprise."[4]
