== Critical Reception ==
Ron Wynn of allmusic.com wrote: "The Four Tops returned to Motown in the mid-'80s, although things didn't work out for them in the end. This was the most successful of three albums they cut during their second stay, with two songs doing moderately well, and "Sexy Ways" becoming one of their last chart hits. A duet with Phyllis Hyman also got substantial urban contemporary airplay."<ref> Songs, Reviews, Credits|website=AllMusic|language=en-us|access-date=2019-10-31}}</ref>
Cub Koda of AllMusic credited "Maybe Tomorrow" as a highlighted track on the Phyllis Hyman One on One album.
