Critical reception
Template:Music ratings The Bay State Banner deemed it a " dirty-old-man-at-the-disco album."[5] The Globe and Mail called it "an excellent wild dancing album."[6]
The New Rolling Stone Record Guide wrote that the album "manages to update the tracks—including the inspired 'Lay Me Like You Hate Me', a summation of Pickett's philosophy of romance—without losing the singer's distinctive style."[4] The San Diego Union-Tribune considered it "underrated."[7]
