'' Cash Box wrote : `` En Vogue has returned in full thrust with the first single taken off their upcoming second album titled Funky Divas. If you were into their debut album Bom To Sing, this single will definitely catch your ear. It 's needless to say that the vocal arrangements are outstanding, because you should already know that.
