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:
“Post-modernism has cut off the present from all futures. The daily media add to this by cutting off the past. Which means that critical opinion is often orphaned in the present.”
—John Berger (b. 1926)
“But in the reception of metaphysical formula, all depends, as regards their actual and ulterior result, on the pre-existent qualities of that soil of human nature into which they fall—the company they find already present there, on their admission into the house of thought.”
—Walter Pater (1839–1894)
