Decent, more jazz-oriented '86 album Benson made with Warner Bros. under the provisions of a new pact that would give him more creative freedom. Although still not as expansive and loose as he wanted it, Benson got more room to play and present his guitar in contexts other than accompanying wordless vocals. ~ Ron Wynn, All Music Guide
