Critical reception
Justin Kantor from SoulTracks wrote that "the production budget may be tighter than on previous records, but Belle demonstrates the purity and classiness fans crave from her on a well-rounded, ten-song set comprised of sophisticated melodies and thought-provoking lyrics. Primary album producers The Heavyweights provide Belle with feel-good tracks that complement the celebratory nature of her interpretations on numbers ranging in tone from the funky "It’s Alright" to the lush, mellow "You"."[2]
