Frank White of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution noted "Veteran jazz piano player, Ramsey Lewis, who gave us the steamy, bluesy "In Crowd" so many years ago, still has one if the most engaging lyric conceptions in contemporary music. He lets the fire roar to the surface here." Jerry Shin of the Charlotte Observer in praise of the album wrote, "Is this jazz? You'll have to decide for yourself. When Lewis improvises on the Steinway, it's jazz. But there's a lot going on that demands some other definition. Jazz-flavoured Pop Rock, perhaps. But whatever you call it, it's bright, listenable, rocking and sometimes swinging music. If you're already a Ramsey Lewis fan, you'll probably love it."
