Upon release, Bob Eborall of Ealing Leader wrote: "Sam gives us the full works on a new album of across-the-range songs. Ranging from the jazzy title track to the rocking "They're the Ones", and my favourite tracks, "Embrace the Darkness" and the tender "Whisper"." [5] Stephen Thomas Erlewine of AllMusic described the album as "arguably her best effort yet". He commented: "She's developed into a first-rate songwriter, capable of crafting melodic, memorable songs with true emotion and depth. It's mature pop with many layers and levels." [4]
