Reception The editors of AllMusic Guide scored Yesterday, Today, & Tomorrow 2.5 of five stars, with reviewer Jason Elias noting that this release "drew the hitmaking ways to a screeching halt" after a string of "fulfilling and immaculately produced albums" guided by Thom Bell. He also notes differences between the sessions that led to this album, with some featuring Philippé Wynne, recorded during the making of Happiness Is Being with the Spinners and others with his replacement John Edwards.
