Select gave the album a rating of one out of five, finding the album derivative of Prince, Jimi Hendrix, Rod Stewart and Marvin Gaye."[5] Music journalist James Richliano stated that the set is made up of musical gems, in which D'Arby reveals himself to be a lover and a poet, whose "rich, soulful voice immediately seizes the ear."[1][conflicted source] In 2020, marking the album's 25th anniversary, Andy Healy said it "may not have been packed with quantifiable hits, but it is undeniably welcoming and enjoyable."[7]
