American magazine Billboard wrote,"Recent release from urban pop outfit with strong hip-hop,dance,and reggae leanings shows considerable staying power on The Billboard 200 and the R&B albums chart,largely on the strength of gold cross-format single 'Come Baby Come'. Among the record's other genre-straddling hits are reggae caper 'Move It Like This',house-flavored 'I'll Make You Feel Good',and supremely catchy,upbeat pop tracks 'Let's Bang','Hi De Ho','Beep Me',and current single 'Zunga Zeng'. In fact,there's not a cut on this formidably deep album that should be ruled out as a potential single."[4] Mark Sutherland from NME wrote,"Yup,K7 and his backing blokes the Swing Kids have done the impossible and crafted an immaculate pop-rap-swingbeat LP that never deviates from the path of wiggy excellence."[6]
