Critical Reception
Sal Cinquemani from Slant Magazine wrote "'Love Don't Cost a Thing,' is a cheap carbon copy of Rodney Jerkins' style of frothy R&B." A reviewer from the Toronto Star wrote "Fortunately, doesn't take herself too seriously as a singer and largely sticks with her strengths on the Latin-tinged, dance- friendly effort. She's best on fun, r 'n' b-ish, uptempo tracks such as the first single, "Love Don't Cost A Thing," and "Play" where the catchy hooks and thumping bass do most of the work."

Famous quotes containing the words critical and/or reception:
“It would be easy ... to regard the whole of world 3 as timeless, as Plato suggested of his world of Forms or Ideas.... I propose a different view—one which, I have found, is surprisingly fruitful. I regard world 3 as being essentially the product of the human mind.... More precisely, I regard the world 3 of problems, theories, and critical arguments as one of the results of the evolution of human language, and as acting back on this evolution.”
—Karl Popper (1902–1994)
“He’s leaving Germany by special request of the Nazi government. First he sends a dispatch about Danzig and how 10,000 German tourists are pouring into the city every day with butterfly nets in their hands and submachine guns in their knapsacks. They warn him right then. What does he do next? Goes to a reception at von Ribbentropf’s and keeps yelling for gefilte fish!”
—Billy Wilder (b. 1906)
