Critical reception

Template:Music ratings The Indianapolis Star wrote that "the accent is on ballads, with 'Morning Love' and the dreamy 'Sensitive Lover' among the best."[8] USA Today noted that "Ernie's fret work is as sensual as Ronald's purring falsetto."[9] The Chicago Tribune determined that some of the tracks "are as achingly beautiful as anything the band recorded during its heyday in the late '70s."[10] The Boston Herald deemed the album "seldom more than a seductive display of professionalism."[11]
