AllMusic[4]

Leo Stanley of AllMusic, in a 3 out of 5 stars review, claimed "Beneath the Surface finds original lead singer Maysa Leak returning to the Incognito fold. Coincidentally or not, the record finds the group moving deeply into smooth, laidback, jazzy soul. It's a seductive sound and the group executes it well, even though there ironically isn't that much substance beneath the surface."[4]
