The AllMusic review by Scott Yanow stated, "this obviously commercial effort (every song fades out before it hits the five-minute mark) can only be recommended in comparison to Ronnie Laws's later more inferior recordings."{{cite web|url=https://www.allmusic.com/album/pressure-sensitive-mw0000644599|title=Ronnie Laws – Pressure Sensitive: Review|last=Yanow|first=S.|publisher=AllMusic}}
