David Handelman of Rolling Stone gave the album one star out of five, calling some of the tracks "instrumental idiocies".[1] Stephen Thomas Erlewine of AllMusic gave it two out of five stars saying that the follow-up contained "nothing more than a pleasant collection of oldies and faceless MOR adult contemporary pop".[2]
