Critical reception

Troy J. Augusto from

Cash Box wrote, "Promising R&B singer looks to make her move to the top o’ the charts with this hardhitting, funky hip-hop number that oozes with radio accessibility and dance-floor hook. A big jump for Shanice, whose forthcoming 21... Wavs album just may be the one to put her in the big leagues with Mariah, Janet, Toni, et al. Bright, bouncy tune reflects serious maturation from the singer’s earlier material. Could be the start of something quite big."[1] Martin Johnson from Chicago Reader remarked that on the album’s "most natural-sounding tracks", as "Somewhere", "she sounds self-assured and determined to elaborate her priorities."[2]
