AllMusic editor Andy Kellman gave note of the record's short running time allowing equal attention for each track and the overall throwback aesthetic being the same as Musiq's previous efforts and not containing "insincere trend-hopping or ill-fitting collaborations with hot MCs." He concluded that "[T]hey're neither raunchy nor drab, and they're nearly a lost art form in 2007." DJBooth's Nathan Slavik gave praise to the musicianship feeling mature throughout the record's track list of slow jams and crowd pleasers, despite the former's combination of lush minimalism and sincere lyricism coming across as "background music."
