AllMusic	[3]

The album received a three out of five stars review on AllMusic, with Rick Anderson calling 12-year-old Jonas a stage prodigy, comparing to the likes of a young Stevie Wonder. He wrote that the debut album was a "mixed bag", but complimented Jonas vocal abilities—specially considering his young age. Anderson highlighted the songs "Time for Me to Fly" and "Higher Love" as standouts on the album, whilst remarking "Crazy Kind of Crush" as a "not cool to rip off the Jackson 5". ^[3]
