Billboard. July 24, 1999. Retrieved July 18, 2020. She said in an interview about the album, "It has dance elements but it's much broader than just that. There are ballads, mid-tempo grooves. Overall I think it's very warm. I think it's a good llstening album."
Critical reception British magazine Music Week wrote, "As well as tackling traditional disco topics such as the pain of love, self-written songs such as the title track and "Release the Pressure" focus on social comment, always from a personal, uplifting perspective. There are times when the slickness of the production stands in the way of the message, but Ultra Nate's personality always shines through."
