Critical Reception

On AllMusic, Andrew Hamilton quoted This album was originally released on Glades Records following Thomas' million-selling Why Can't We Live Together which qualifies as the cheapest Top 10 hit ever made. The session consists of Timmy Thomas singing and accompanying himself on organ. The rest of the album is almost as sparse. If you like a lot of production, you won't find it here. Remakes of The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face and the Chi-Lites' "Coldest Days Of My Life won't make you ditch the original versions. And with the exception of the title track, the originals are forgettable".

The standard of this album would then reflect Thomas' career until his retirement.
