This recording did not do as well commercially as previous Franklin albums. The LP reached #57 on Billboard's Top Album charts and peaked at #6 on the R&B album charts. None of its singles reached the Top 40 on the Billboard Hot 100. The lead single, "Without Love", written by Aretha's sister Carolyn Franklin and former Motown producer Ivy Jo Hunter, charted at #45 Pop, but fared far better on the R&B charts reaching #6. The title cut also charted at #20 on the R&B charts in early 1975.
Cash Box said that the title song "[builds] slow and steady, it gets into a gorgeous groove with back-up singers, guitar, horns and slinky organ cooking full force under [Franklin's] dynamic vocal."[3]
