The title song charted as a single on Billboard, reaching No.1 on the Adult Contemporary chart. "White Rhythm & Blues" was covered by Linda Ronstadt on her album Living in the USA. In 1992, George Strait covered "The Last in Love", for the soundtrack to the film Pure Country.

Reception

Template:Music ratings The New York Times concluded that "Souther's trouble is that his voice simply isn't very interesting, at least in a folk-rock context on recording."<ref>Template:Cite news</ref>

In his retrospective review for AllMusic, critic William Ruhlmann praised "White Rhythm and Blues" as well as the solo version of the Souther–Hillman–Furay Band song "Trouble in Paradise".<ref name="AM" />
