AllMusic wrote that "cool jazzy flavors (including the catchy 'I Wantcha Babe') and sweet floaters ('Take Time' and 'In My Life') balance the more dramatic cuts and provide a comfortable plateau for Ledisi's fluid alto."^[4] The San Francisco Chronicle wrote: "One moment sad and sweet, loud and fierce the next, [Ledisi's] music is part down-home lovin' and good advice."^[8]
