Reception

Allmusic awarded the album 3 stars and its review by Ed Hogan states: "Marcus Miller followed his debut LP, Suddenly, with this self-titled PRA/Warner Bros. album released during summer 1984. His fusion of funk/R&B/jazz is well-balanced on this effort and better represents his formidable talents as a bassist/songwriter/producer/vocalist/multi-instrumentalist."<ref name="Allmusic">Hogan, E.
