AllMusic	[1]

In his review for AllMusic, William Ruhlmann described the album as "a classic of the style called 'West Coast pop', a creamy adult contemporary sound with a rock edge but plenty of strings, the tasty guitar solos offset by the sweet harmonies". However, he found the material weak by Jimmy Webb standards, with a number of compositions that are ponderous and/or lacking in distinction, and said that the two best songs, "Scissors Cut" and "In Cars", already had superior recordings done by Art Garfunkel.^[1]
