Ian Fortnam of Classic Rock wrote that "from their opening tumultuous roar through Larry Williams's 'Slow Down', QSP are so fully on top of their game that you wonder why they've never done this before" as "Quatro's bass and Powell's drums lock together as a single unit". Fortnam also acclaimed the "original compositions" as they "marry craftsmanship with emotional experience".[3] In a later overview of Quatro's albums, Fortnam called Quatro, Scott & Powell "a match made in glam heaven" as "Andy Scott matches raw power with emotional depth to excellent effect" and his "production accentuates the heft of Quatro's routinely overlooked bass playing and her uncanny ability to utterly inhabit a song".[4]
