Reception

A ''Cash Box'' Magazine album review dated April 9, 1977, states "It would be hard to follow the high quality work that Tom Fogerty put into Creedence Clearwater Revival but Fogerty's new band, Ruby, deserves more than a casual listen. The combined talents of this quartet are potently showcased in their ability to play fast and funky or slow and silky with equal aplomb and careful control. For AOR and top 40 playlists."Cash Box album reviews
