Critical reception

edit

Larry Flick from Billboard wrote, "American-born rapper Tina Harris makes a poetic debut on a track that combines slick, time-sensitive beats ... It's a move that enriches and elevates the final product. Such musical warmth inspires a heartfelt performance from Harris, who oozes the charisma of a major star."[1]
