The Baltimore Sun wrote that "it's not the band's brassy bluster that makes it worth hearing, but the rhythm section's refried soul grooves." [8] The Washington Post opined that "except for a few tracks ... the combination of Tom Bowes's rather generic R&B vocals and some uninspired lyrics is sorely outclassed by the group's surging horn arrangements and incessant dance grooves." [5]
All songs written by Emilio Castillo and Stephen "Doc" Kupka unless otherwise noted.
