-style ballad." Allmusic editor Stephen Thomas Erlewine
noted the album for "retaining [the] same blend of well-manicured R&B and European sophistication" of Bedingfield's debut album and commented that she "plays it exceptionally safe, to the extent that she even tones down the self-empowerment of her first two records, preferring pristine blue-eyed soul
and adult contemporary
ballads, all tailored for an aspirational upscale lifestyle". Slant magazine
