Select2/5[5]

The album received generally mixed reviews from critics. In a contemporary review, Select stated that "For every might tune like the title track, there's an over-long muddled 'What's This Word Called Love?" and "the producers knack of building indestructible house beats is matched only by their inconsistency".[5] The review concluded that the songs were over-long and have trouble sustaining interest."[5]
