But her strong vocals retain the original feel of these tracks, creating a soulful jungle splice-up."[3] Chuck Campbell from Knoxville News Sentinel felt that here, the singer "glides into the subtlety of a more refined arrangement".[4] Jonathan Bernstein from Spin declared it as "a request-line perennial-in-the-making".[5]
