The New Rolling Stone Record Guide deemed the album "unashamedly derivative Ohio Players funk."^[7] Despite this review, "Too Hot to Stop" is considered by funk fans to be one of the very best Bar-Kays albums. Its content caused George Clinton, leader of Parliament-Funkadelic, to invite the Bar-Kays to be one of the opening acts on his band's legendary 1976-77 P-Funk Earth Tour.^{[citation needed]}
