AllMusic[2]

AllMusic editor Stephen Thomas Erlewine remarked that "Young specializes in super-slick soft rock and super-stiff white funk, doing neither with the panache of either Mick Hucknall or George Michael [...] Young has no chance of replicating his idols with Leave Right Now, not just because most of it is almost a half-decade old, but because he’s a prissy milquetoast whose distinguishing vocal tic is how he occasionally gets a mildly sharp edge to his voice when he's holding a high note. Not the kind of thing you want to hang your hat on, and not the kind of thing that will win audiences that didn’t see you on TV, either."[2]
