  ## Reception
  
  Cash Box magazine said "Their sound is a bit pop-ish, but the somewhat heavy-handed treatment of the instrumentation lends just enough punch to make Howzat! a solid choice for the FM programmer as well. We highly recommend the title track and 'Blueswalkin' to the progressive programmer, while 'Dancer' will supplement these just fine in the pop markets."
