    AllMusic editor Stephen Thomas Erlewine rated the album four out of five stars and noted that "there may not be much variety or many remarkable songs on the record [...] but that doesn't matter because this is essentially a mood record, and that mood is love. And it's not a bad romantic mood-setter, either, since Joe is an appealing vocalist, the production is lush without being syrupy, and the songs are all fairly strong, even if only a handful are exceptional."[1]

    Al B. Sure! [...] His come-ons might go over better if supported by something other than boilerplate pop-soul production. Joe’s best when his wispy vocals are contrasted."[2]
