==Critical Reception==
Allmusic's Joe Viglione called it "a solid album" and wrote: "The trouble is, it's all so artsy. It's a beautiful record ignoring the need to match the success of her first two singles, and in a world driven by radio, where timing is everything, the question to this day remains -- why?"
