Reception

Scott Yanow reviewed the album for Allmusic and wrote that "The most memorable tracks include "Walkin'," "Love Walked In" and a nearly 12-minute rendition of "Love Is Just Around the Corner." Although the group always had a dominant easy-listening sound, a lot of hard-swinging often took place beneath the surface, particularly during their live sets."
