"Baby, Please Don't Go" was released as a single, with the song "Psalms of Aftermath" as the B-side. Ultimate Classic Rock said that the album received "little, if any, fanfare outside of home base of Detroit". AllMusic wrote in a retrospective review that the album is "as essential to the Amboy Dukes' catalog as the non-hit material on Psychedelic Lollipop was to the Blues Magoos, the first album from the Amboy Dukes is a real find and fun listening experience. This is a far cry from Cat Scratch Fever, and that's why fans of psychedelia and '60s music should cherish this early diamond."
