Critical reception

Spin wrote that "the insistent grooves lack dynamic drama, the instrumentation is overcooked, and [Katrina] Ford’s vocals often feel contrived."[2] Exclaim! stated that "the TVOTR comparisons won't stop anytime soon but Celebration can rest assured they've set themselves apart with this sumptuous effort."[9]
