Critical reception
Entertainment Weekly wrote that "singles like 'Type' and 'Glamour Boys', and Vernon Reid’s dive-bomber guitar, amount to one mighty legacy."[6] The Commercial Appeal opined: "Much of the Pride collection is just depressing, documenting the death of a promising band. So, unless you're a devoted fan, skip this one and use the bucks to replace your scarred copy of Vivid."[7]
