AllMusic     [1]

AllMusic editor Andy Kellman rated the album four and a half stars out of five. He wrote: "While each of the albums from this phase of Joe's career has strong cuts that were not released as singles, this set is ideal for casual fans" and calle "Beautiful" one "of his sweeter tracks, but it's not up to the standard of his best-known material."[1]
