Critical reception
The Bay State Banner deemed it a " dirty-old-man-at-the-disco album."[8] The Globe and Mail called it "an excellent wild dancing album."[9]
The New Rolling Stone Record Guide wrote that the album "manages to update the tracks—including the inspired 'Lay Me Like You Hate Me', a summation of Pickett's philosophy of romance—without losing the singer's distinctive style."[5] The San Diego Union-Tribune considered it "underrated."[10]
