[4] Magnet stated that the album "might confuse (and lose) fans who have somehow missed the memo that Potter is creatively restless, but it's a boldly rhythmic step in a wild new direction".

[4] Michael Madden wrote that Potter explores a "broader range of sounds" on the "concise, hooky collection of songs", including "The Band-esque heartland stomp, vaguely twangy Southern rock, sensual new wave glide, and wiggly post-Pharrell funk".

[1] Lee Zimmerman of PopMatters stated that is "clear that these songs serve mainly to project Potter's presence and define her essence as a prime blues belter pure and simple", despite the tracks being "simply serviceable although not quite strong enough to ensure a status that could be considered classic".

[7] Kenneth Partridge, reviewing the album for Billboard, felt that Potter "blow[s] out her sound even more" although she "doesn't totally ditch her blues-rock ways: Amid synth-y disco dalliances ('Alive Tonight') and soul-funk workouts ('Your Girl'), she leaves room for snarling riffs on 'Look What We've Become' and acoustic boom on 'Empty Heart'".

[5] Boston Globe's Steve Morse dismissed the album as "a disaster" and wrote that Potter "throws away" her "great reputation as a soul-rock singer" on "a cheesy plunge into dance-pop that shows a crass haste to grab Top 40 radio play".
