[...] Reviews of the album were mixed, with The Times calling it, 'A restless scamper through feisty R&B, 1960s soul, big band swing and misty eyed balladry, The Alesha Show has many collaborators as it does styles. The first half, with the groovy "Let's Get Excited" and the tongue-in-cheek, mambo style "The Boy Does Nothing", is great fun. But the "killer" love song turns out to be a damp squib, while the Euro-funk filler "Ooh Baby I Like it Like That" is just as inane as its name.'
