Critical
The album received mixed reviews from critics garnering a rating of 54 on Metacritic stating that it "is typical Boyz II Men, meaning plenty of vocal harmonies and ballads."[3] Stephen Thomas Erlewine of Allmusic commented, "a little of the stilted, early-'80s funk-influenced hip-hop that marked modern soul, while offering a lot of adult contemporary balladry. Although the group doesn't delve too hard into funk, it still doesn't mesh particularly well together, especially since the material, while well-sung as ever, isn't particularly distinguished. That doesn't mean it's bad -- the album is pleasant enough as it spins -- but it's simply not that memorable, which is quite a disappointment after the very, very nice Nathan Michael Shawn Wanya."
