In his review for AllMusic, Jonathan Widran wrote that "this modern R&B stalwart has always offered the perfect blend of dreamy old-school soul textures; jangly, guitar-driven atmospheres; and slick, modern funk grooves. And oh, that voice – mellow and sexy, seductive to the core. The best 'come to beddy bye' tone since Barry White, and so steeped in that era."[1]
