Critical reception
Steve Jones of USA Today declared, "During the eight years Ferrell has been away from recording (which she spent extricating herself from a production deal), the earthy pianist/singer has continued to electrify audiences with stunning performances. Instead of stagnating, she has grown as an artist while maintaining her creative integrity and remaining as hard to pigeonhole as ever. The title track speaks not only to her contractual liberation, but to her determination to explore every emotional nook and cranny of her material. Using her remarkable vocal range, she embarks on a deeply personal journey." [3]
Michael Gallucci of Allmusic favourably found, "Ferrell's rich, textured voice strokes these often-formulaic songs along. Dipping into modern pop, R&B, gospel, and jazz, Ferrell paints some splendid portraits here (even if she does tend to over-sing her lines occasionally). A breakthrough album from a behind-the-scenes artist deserving more." [1]
Sonia Murray of the Atlanta Journal Constitution gave a B- rating saying, "Eight years have passed since the woman with one of R&B's most amazingly acrobatic voices released a new album. So it's especially disappointing that this one isn't a solid "10." [7]
