The reviews for the album have generally been positive and a taste of fresh songs in the Philippine music industry. Baby Gil of The Philippine Star has stated, It has been quite a while, that anybody else since Gary Valenciano back during the ’80s in local show business, have we had a pop idol who sings, writes songs, dances, acts, does all those things well and also looks great. That was over 30 years ago and it is only now that we have come across somebody like James Reid who is all those things and is also incredibly sexy with a killer smile to boot. [8]
