Critical reception


AllMusic wrote that "though Maceo's original lyrical attempts may be a bit immature, his years of experience and hard work shine through with every brassy attack and smooth soul note."[1] The Washington Post thought that Parker's son, Corey, "emerges as an entertaining rapper."[6] Billboard called the album "a hot, entertaining, straight-up R&B record that contains soulful originals and covers."[7]
