AllMusic | [1] |
Ed Hogan of AllMusic stated that "Jean Carn's self-titled debut for Gamble & Huff's Philadelphia International Records could be subtitled "Philly soul at its best." [1]
Two singles were released from the album. The lead-off track, "Free Love", peaked at No. 23 on the Billboard Soul Singles chart in April 1977. [2] The second single, "If You Wanna Go Back", failed to chart. [3] The two songs, along with the track "You Got a Problem", had received enough combined play in dance clubs to together peak at No. 18 on the National Disco Action chart in February 1977. [4] [5]
