The album reached number 24 on country charts, and was Milsap's last crossover until Then Sings My Soul in 2009, peaking at number 172 on the Billboard 200. Allmusic praised Milsap for a "gutsy [and] powerful performance" on the record, stating that "not one of the ten songs...is weak." The publication characterized it as "one of his best albums," lauding the performer's "eclectic, soul-inflected R&B" style.[1]
