AllMusic[1]

The album contains a version of the Byrds' classic song "Eight Miles High" with altered lyrics. The closing track, "On My Way Home", was dedicated to Tony Stratton-Smith.

To the Power of Three was met with negative reviews and was a commercial failure, having reached just number 97 in the U.S. Billboard 200.[2] Jason Ankeny wrote to AllMusic a one-sentence review in which he admitted that "...To the Power of Three fails to recapture the magic of Keith Emerson and Carl Palmer's past collaborations" and gave the album a 2-out-of-5 star rating.[1]

"Talkin' Bout", the only single released from the album, peaked at number 9 in the Mainstream Rock chart.[2]
