Allmusic[1]

Andy Kellman from AllMusic found that sonngs such as 'Hate Me' is 'a hot Southern soul ballad and 'Shut Up' packs forthright attitude with a roomy but unshakeable beat, yet the album does not quite have the bite of Turn Me Loose. It could use a couple throw-you-around-the-room rockers in the vein of Turn Me Loose's 'Runnin'' and 'Knockin',' although some listeners will be so struck by the sustained high level of confidence and grace that it won't be an issue.'[1]
