AllMusic[3]

Andrew Hamilton of AllMusic stated that "Not as charming as their debut LP. Ty Hunter, Sherrie Payne, Sylvia Smith and Larry Mitchell, all good singers, don't have much here to show their skills. Sylvia gives her all on the moving ballad "That Man I'll Never Have," and "Stealing Moments From Another Woman's Life" is alright."[3]
