Reviews of the album were favourable with AllMusic rating the album 4 out of 5 crediting the "optimistic" sound of what is a "feel-good album". Also of mention was lead singer Terry Sharp's vocals as well as the backing vocals and harmonies, while Pat Gribben is said to be "a gifted guitarist" and "musicianship is top notch".〔 In a contemporary review the ''Miami News'' also made mention of the strong harmonies saying that it contained "a symphony of gorgeous voices". It rates highly the opening two tracks, likening the latter to Burt Bacharach and Jimmy Webb, while the band hardens its sound on side two with songs such as "Hold Me Now" and "When Your Heart Was Young". They concluded that "the album vibrates with freshness and unadulterated finesse".〔(Miami News, April 28 1988 )〕 ''Smash Hits'' magazine commented favourably on the album saying that it was an improvement on their debut.〔''Smash Hits'' Album reviews, May 1988〕 Track "The Trip to Bountiful" was based on the film of the same name.〔
