Critical reception

Pan-European magazine Music & Media wrote, "White label copies of the debut single 'You Got That Somethin'' have been mailed out to clubs in the UK and France by RCA and NNB/BMG respectively. Who would believe that it's a blonde Swede singing such TLC-esque material?"^[1] A reviewer from People Magazine said, "Not only has Robyn mastered the English language (she writes all her own material), but she also challenges teen queens Brandy and Monica at their own hip-hop soul game. Just listen to the assured manner with which her voice glides over the swaggering, syncopated funk of 'In My Heart' and 'You've Got That Somethin''."^[2]
