Reception

Writing for Beat Instrumental, Dave Gell believes that it is a good representation of Dave Clark and Mike Smith's songwriting talent. He additionally praises the band's musical abilities, particularly noting that Smith is "well-represented" on the organ.[2] He also states that the LP's "overall effect is of a group thoroughly in love with what they're doing"[2]

In a retrospective review published on AllMusic, music critic Bruce Eder wrote "As the group's first venture in making an LP, it's not as strong as their later efforts, though it does show off their range around the sound that would make them international stars. The lack of the presence of a hit single, however, leaves it weaker than most of the group's American-released LPs."[1]
