In The Pittsburgh Press, critic Pete Bishop said that the album hits listeners "Right between the eyes...with as much power and subtlety as Larry Csonka up the middle."[3]

It has been reissued separately on CD numerous times since 1985, and is also widely available on a 2-in-1 album, the other album being the group's debut Framed.[4]
