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)
“To aim to convert a man by miracles is a profanation of the soul. A true conversion, a true Christ, is now, as always, to be made by the reception of beautiful sentiments.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
