Industry Reviews ...an album where song craft dominates and new jack swing plays the back....her maturation as an artist is evident... The Source (04/01/1993)
3 Stars - Good - ...[Wheeler] glides where others grandstand....plugged into a mainstream current, Wheeler's marvelous voice finally makes a distinct impression... Rolling Stone (04/29/1993)
Highly Recommended - ...The Soul II Soul diva sings like a siren to her slow synth beats, meditating on the depth of her love, and how hard it is to say goodbye... Spin (04/01/1993)
...Caron Wheeler's voice is small but beautifully controlled; launching into her ecstatic, microtonal scatting, she sounds like a Senegalese Aretha... - Rating: B+ Entertainment Weekly (02/26/1993)
