Reception

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]
