Critical reception

In a retrospective review for AllMusic, Steve Mason gave the album four and a half out of five stars, calling it a "completely solid and credible album". He described lead singer Pauline Henry's voice as being "expressive but controlled" and "powerful without resorting to the tiresome trills and oversinging of so many of her R&B contemporaries". He also said that the multi-instrumentalist band members and producers James Locke and Michael Peden "combine pop, dance, and soul influences into a seamless, sleekly danceable blend."
