Critical reception
Trouser Press called the album "excellent," writing that "keyboard stabs, creative percussion and intriguing arrangements provide a solid background to his cries and moans of passion."[3]
AllMusic called it "a superb album, which while not in the same class as Spear's first five releases, proves that the artist still has a good deal of simmer left."[4]
