Allmusic's review of the album was generally derisive, accusing Toto of creating little more than imitations of other bands, claiming that they don't find their footing until halfway through, and even going so far as to describe the album as "a band trying to find itself during a midlife crisis." They did, however, praise Steve Lukather's lead vocals (while quietly insinuating that the years have not been as kind to the other lead vocalists on the album) and made note of the "amazing production values" of the recordings.

Famous quotes containing the word reception:
“To aim to convert a man by miracles is a profanation of the soul. A true conversion, a true Christ, is now, as always, to be made by the reception of beautiful sentiments.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“I gave a speech in Omaha. After the speech I went to a reception elsewhere in town. A sweet old lady came up to me, put her gloved hand in mine, and said, “I hear you spoke here tonight.” “Oh, it was nothing,” I replied modestly. “Yes,” the little old lady nodded, “that’s what I heard.””
—Gerald R. Ford (b. 1913)
“But in the reception of metaphysical formula, all depends, as regards their actual and ulterior result, on the pre-existent qualities of that soil of human nature into which they fall—the company they find already present there, on their admission into the house of thought.”
—Walter Pater (1839–1894)
