Production

Rolling Stone wrote that "the songs, along with dependably crunchy rhythms, give up nifty pop hooks."[11] Entertainment Weekly called the album "all atmosphere and no guts," writing that "no matter how sultry the drumbeats, Lisa Lisa’s voice is too thin to provide much soul."[7] The New York Times deemed it "brave, flawed and, at moments, brilliant."[12]
