Critical reception

AllMusic wrote that the album "owes more to sinewy, seductive contemporary R&B rhythms influenced by ragga and dancehall than to reggae itself, but much of this music is solidly constructed."^[2] The Encyclopedia of Popular Music wrote that the album "saw Capleton at the peak of his powers."^[3]
