the album received mixed reviews from critics. david jeffries of allmusic stated "omi delivers this all in a wonderful voice, falling somewhere between roots star tarrus riley and kevin lyttle when it comes to island authenticity, the singer turns to the same great guest nicki minaj chooses, dancehall singer busy signal, who kicks 'color of my lips' up a notch or two. 'fireworks' is a sexy soca number that r. kelly could cover, while the title cut is a warm and powerful duet with sarah west, although she doesn't get a feature credit on the album like busy, erik hassle, and aronchupa do, even though she certainly deserves one. for a rushed-to-market, crossover album capitalizing on a global hit, the pleasing "me 4 u" is much more well-built, well-paced, and well-rounded than expected.
