Critical reception

Record Collector wrote: "Incredibly dull ballads alternate with less-than-inspired attempts at floor-fillers, with, perhaps, only the closing 'It’s Magic', a Philly International-inspired groove, coming close to scaling the heights of earlier gems."^[3] No Depression urged readers to avoid it, writing that it was put out to "cash in on [Cymande's] club cache."^[4]
