The Washington Post concluded that "when Carl Martin, Darnell Van Rensalier, Garfield Bright and Marc Gay stack their voices in one unexpected chord after another, though, they capture the hope and anxiety of young love like few other acts today." The Los Angeles Times determined that Shai "saves its best vocals for the album's one a cappella track, 'If I Gave (A Confession of Hope)', a spiritual that is moving in its sheer simplicity." AllMusic noted that "the first half of the disc is devoted to seductive slow numbers, while the second part is dominated by deep bass grooves." Track listing
