the allmusic site awarded the album 3 stars stating: "despite its title, most of the music on this album is not actually reggae but a mixture of jazz, r&b and pop. flutist herbie mann, guitarists mick taylor and albert lee and keyboardist pat rebillot combine with the eight-piece tommy mccook band to create some spirited and danceable (if a bit dated) music... the results are fun if not all that substantial".
