Critical reception

Smash Hits named Sean Maguire Best New Album. Leesa Daniels wrote, "One minute he's in EastEnders , next The O-Zone , and then all of sudden he's a pop star! The single "Someone To Love" was a good start, but does Sean have an album's worth up his multi-talented sleeve? Well, just about. Though many of the tracks sound like you've heard them somewhere before, there's enough here to be worth parting with your pennies for. Listen out for "As Soon As You Know" and the absolute cracker dance tune "My Heart Won't Let You Go" which must be the next single." [3]
