Critical reception

The Washington Post wrote: "With its big beat, synth riffs and reverberating bass lines, even Thelonious Monk's ''Round Midnight' is aimed at the dance floor."[1] The Omaha World-Herald noted that the band "no longer makes much of an attempt at fusion, settling instead for commercial stuff rooted in funk."[6] UPI praised the "soft, bouncy funk tunes."[7]
