Critical reception
AllMusic ' David Jeffries praised the album for its "pop moments" but said that the album is nothing "memorable".[ 3] In the negative review, Simon Vozick-Levinson of Entertainment Weekly wrote: "Baby Bash himself is by far the weakest link. Though he fancies himself a sweet talker, clumsy lyrics such as "She wanna add me to her life like a MySpace friend" come off like cringeworthy pickup lines".[ 4]
