Critical reception.
Andy Kellman, writing for Allmusic, found that Kem's "kind of R&amp;B is kicked-back with sparse arrangements made elegantly rich with starlit keyboards, subtle guitar flicks, and feminine vocals. Understated but assured, his vocals exhibit a lot of range despite almost always remaining at the volume of a bedroom whisper. So he's really out place in the early 2000s, not stylistically disparate from what you'd hear late at night on a soul station in the late '70s or early '80s. On "Album II", there's no stab taken at finding a younger or different audience."
