Critical reception
The Washington Post wrote: "With its big beat, synth riffs and reverberating bass lines, even Thelonious Monk's ''Round Midnight' is aimed at the dance floor." The Omaha World-Herald noted that the band "no longer makes much of an attempt at fusion, settling instead for commercial stuff rooted in funk." UPI praised the "soft, bouncy funk tunes."
