Allmusic[1]

Allmusic editor Alex Henderson wrote that Gladys Knight "isn't remarkable, but is a generally decent effort that ranges from R&B/adult contemporary ballads to up-tempo soul-disco offerings like "You Bring Out the Best in Me" and "You Don't Have to Say I Love You," both of which would appeal to a Loleatta Holloway or Thelma Houston fan [...] This LP, which she produced with Jack Gold, isn't recommended to casual listeners, who would be much better off with an anthology of her classic Motown and Buddah recordings with the Pips. But it's a likable record that is worth hearing if you're among Knight's hardcore fans."[1]
