The editorial board of AllMusic Guide scored this album three out of five stars, with reviewer Alex Henderson noting that while the two lead singles of the album are novelty songs focusing on disco beats with lyrics about kung fu, "in fact, most of the tracks aren't novelty items" as "other songs have more romantic lyrics and are competent, if unremarkable, examples of Northern soul-pop".
