Critical reception

edit

AllMusic called the album "a polished and wholly accessible record. [Shanice's] marvelous voice sounds better than ever, and the music, which is sensual and energetic at once, should please fans of contemporary R&B."[1] Chris Rizik from SoulTracks found that "a spin of the disc displays what appears to be two distinct, almost dichotomous albums: One a fairly bland effort at Vivian Green-like modern R&B and one a more classic pop/soul disc that highlights Shanice's formidable vocal prowess. Unfortunately you have to wade through the first to get to the second."[2]
