AllMusic's Stephen Thomas Erlewine noted how the record has elements of rhythmic dance pop from Kelly Clarkson's Thankful and adult contemporary from Clay Aiken's Measure of a Man , giving praise to Locke's vocal performance over a track listing that's more hook-filled than either of them, concluding that, "While that might not make for the most noteworthy of albums, it is a nice listen, and Kimberley Locke acquits herself well with this good-natured debut."
