AllMusic[1]

Ron Wynn wrote in his retrospective review for AllMusic: "Kashif went the duet route on this late '80s release, working with both Dionne Warwick and Meli'sa Morgan and doing relatively well both times [...] The album was otherwise as slick and overproduced as ever, and his singing went back to the subdued patterns of earlier works."[1]
