Reception
AllMusic awarded the album 4 stars noting "The music is unassuming, without theatrics or extended technique, and as a result may get lost in the shuffle. This is, however, a polished and pleasing set by first-rate talent, and it achieves its goal of exciting, mainstream fare with a 1970s flair".Loewy, S., AllMusic Review, accessed February 17, 2015
