The Oakland Post wrote that "the moment the needle hits the opening notes of the scorching 'Everybody Up', it's clear that their Arista Records debut finds them ready for action, ready to take rightful place among class players from any state." Billboard praised the "tight, basic sound, unencumbered by overwrought string and horn arrangements."
