The Philadelphia Daily News wrote: "On the one hand, this group has always been nothing more than a sharp- witted AOR aspirant—not even always so sharp-witted. On the other, 'Rock You Up' finally pays off on that ambition with a really relentless riff and the best vocal Wally Palmar has ever pulled off."[5]
