Allmusic[3]

Allmusic editor Andy Kellman rated the album three out of five stars. He found that "Houston doesn't have much in the way of originality to offer, but he and his collaborators have put together a respectable album that should retain his original fan base while adding some new admirers. The fact that Houston co-produced and wrote a handful of the songs — some of which are among the album's best — bodes well for a future that he's been keeping in mind ever since the Immature days."[3]
