The Calgary Herald determined that "the love duet 'My Soul Intention' is like 'Wooly Bully' gone starry-eyed."[6] The Sun Sentinel concluded that "Darnell has transformed himself from a sly, insightful lyricist to a sort of limp, Caribbean-flavored Prince."[9]

The Globe and Mail wrote: "Wildly imaginative and cockily crafted, this is dance music for people who don't like dance music."[10] The New York Times opined that "the temperament of American pop has narrowed, and it's hard to judge what room remains for the Kid Creole notion of a combined dance party and Broadway show."[11]

The Morning Call included the album on its list of the 10 best of 1991, as did Geoffrey Himes of The Washington Post.[12][13]
