AllMusic	[5]

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]
