| AllMusic |   [2] |
AllMusic awarded the album 4 stars and its review by Rob Theakson stating: "It's soul soothing music that's been played with great reverence by the rare soul and funk community for years and rightly so, as Bey captures the essence of the soul world brilliantly, and fuses it into something that is uniquely his own".[2]
