Jive Records subsequently dropped promotion for the project, although she appeared on Soul Train the following year and performed "Complicated" which was originally planned to be the third single.

"[2] Tom Doggett from Rap Reviews felt that "from start to finish, there is nothing terribly notable about Complicated [...] From here to the end, there are no great songs and only a couple of good ones.

One of the biggest problems is that every song fits the blueprint for what one might expect from Nivea, with smooth and slightly edgy poppy rap production and vocals that never surprise.

"[1] Vibe critic Angie Romero found that the album saw Nivea falling "back on the usual tricks of the trade: cameos by Lil Jon and YoungBloodZ on "Okay"; a familiar sample on "I Can't Mess With You" (which borrows from Mary J. Blige's "Everything"); and a racier image.

Although this shorty's soprano sounds older, raspier, and sexier, raunchy tracks like "Quickie" and "Gangsta Girl" (where R. Kelly re-enacts his tired flamenco bit), come up short.
