Critical reception
Ernie Santosuosso noted "Love Island" and "Tahiti Hut" as the best tracks lauding "George Benson's tumbling-noted guitar cameo" and the"intriguing bass figures played by Pops Popwell" as "frilled by Deodato's vocalanger (voice) effects" on "Love Island", the title track, and "Deodato's subdued vocalise" and "simple melodic statement by trombonists Sam Burtis and Wayne Andre" on "Tahiti Hut", the latter, calling the others "a rather anonymous lot".
