 Allmusic gave the album a mixed review and described it as "awkwardly assembled", and added that it "feels inorganic in a way that "Unwritten" did not, less personal and more vetted by various A&R executives".Glenn Gambo in a review for "Newsday" gave the album C+ rating, and wrote that the album "barely registers" and was "full of pale copies of other successful pop [songs] that don't necessarily work for Bedingfield"."N.B."
