Critical reception
Professional ratings Review scores Source Rating AllMusic [ 1]
AllMusic editor Andy Kellman rated the album four out of five stars. He called Cheryl Lynn "easily her best full-length, full of solid album cuts that act as support for the key singles rather than attempting to match them or even duplicate them with forced hooks and bungled attempts at making a diverse listen."[ 1]
