AllMusic[3]

The Washington Post concluded that "the music is severely compromised ... by Brickell's singsong delivery and her apparent inability to convey anything more compelling than a pervasive sense of ennui... Though she sings of good times and hard times, pleasure and pain, her emotional input is every bit as modest as her vocal range."[4]
