Upon release, Billboard described the album as "very strong". They noted the "anthemic" "This Life of Ours", the slower "Stand a Little Rain" and lead single "Weak in the Presence of Beauty".[5] Jack Kraft of The Morning Call felt the album contained "several good pop-rock dance tunes" such as "Waiting for the One" and "If You Want to Rock". He concluded: "Looking for Adventure shows why Eddie Rice & Co are a popular club band. It may also go a long way in helping translate that popularity into chart success."[6]
