Critical reception



In Christgau's Record Guide: Rock Albums of the Seventies (1981), Robert Christgau wrote of the album:

Led by ex-folkie Toni Brown (the principal composer) and ex-blueswoman Terry Garthwaite (whose three rhythm songs sizzle joyously), this may not be your idea of rock and roll. The music revolves around Brown's piano, which rolls more than it rocks, and the band goes for multi-percussion rather than the old in-out. I find it relaxing and exciting and amazingly durable; I can dance to it, and I can also fuck to it. The musical dynamic pits Brown's collegiate contralto against Garthwaite's sandpaper soul, and the lyrics are feminist breakthroughs. 'Too Late, but Not Forgotten' remembers a trailer camp while 'Red Wine at Noon' touches international finance, but the two protagonists are united by one overriding fact—they're victimized as wives. And it's about time somebody in rock and roll said so.
The album was listed as the 6th best of 1971 in The Village Voice's Pazz & Jop critics poll. Christgau, the poll's creator, ranked it first in his ballot, while fellow critic Ellen Willis placed it second, behind The Who's Who's Next.
