Critical reception
The Daily Breeze wrote that the album "is almost exclusively made up of slow and medium tempo snorers that show nothing in the way of invention or even catchy hooks."[6] The San Diego Union-Tribune opined that "Quarterflash has sunken deeper into the muck and mire of middle-of-road, middle-class pop music... Although well produced, written and performed, Back into Blue still has the taste of white bread and whole milk."[7]
