      Richie Unterberger, writing retrospectively for AllMusic, called the album "as wildly uneven as their other pair. Affecting pop/rock ballads and operatic crooner vehicles were interspersed with absolutely inappropriate up-tempo blue-eyed soul (always a weak point for the group) and rock covers". Unterberger rates Scott Walker's songs highly, noting that they "[exhibit] a growth that foreshadowed some of the more ambitious aspects of his early solo albums". He also described John Walker's "I Can't Let It Happen to You" as "one of The Walker Brothers' best songs, and undoubtedly the best thing John Walker contributed to their records".
