AllMusic editor Ron Wynn wrote that while Barry Manilow, Barry Gibb, and Luther Vandross returned Warwick "to the elaborately arranged and structured soul-tinged pop that had marked her finest hits," he found that "the lyrics and compositions weren't as consistent as they were during her Burt Bacharach/Hal David period."[2]
