AllMusic[1]

AllMusic editor Ron Wynn called Send Me Your Love Kashif's "best release from a performance standpoint; his vocals had more vigor and spirit than at any time before or since, and he toned down the production, varied the arrangements, and created a much more interesting and multi-faceted presentation than anticipated."[1]
