AllMusic     [3]

AllMusic editor William Ruhlmann wrote: "Eight different producers contribute [...] and they successfully give Dexter a contemporary R&B sound that apes much of what other singers of her ilk are wailing over. And she wails competently, but no more so than any other youthful Mariah Carey wannabe on the market."[3]
