SourceRating
AllMusic[1]

The album peaked at #33 in Billboard pop charts, and at #6 on the R&B charts. The two follow-up singles to 1981's chart success' "Being with you" were notably not Robinson compositions: "Tell Me Tomorrow" peaked at #33 Billboard and #3 R&B charts, "Old Fashioned Love" at #60 Billboard and #17 R&B charts. The third and final single, Robinson's "Yes It's You Lady" only peaked at #107 Billboard, without entering the R&B charts.

Robert Christgau rated the album as B, praising Robinson's mature voice and singing, while complaining about the weakness of the "material". Concluding with "he almost gets away with it anyway".[2]
