Legacy
Richie Unterberger, writing retrospectively for AllMusic, called the album "as wildly uneven as their other pair. Affecting pop/rock ballads and operatic crooner vehicles were interspersed with absolutely inappropriate up-tempo blue-eyed soul (always a weak point for the group) and rock covers".[4] Unterberger rates Scott Walker's songs highly, noting that they "[exhibit] a growth that foreshadowed some of the more ambitious aspects of his early solo albums".[4] He also described John Walker's "I Can't Let It Happen to You" as "one of The Walker Brothers' best songs, and undoubtedly the best thing John Walker contributed to their records".[4]
