Critical reception
In a contemporary review for The Village Voice, music critic Robert Christgau gave the album a "C+" and found Lisa Lisa's singing amateurish and comparable to "a Rosie & the Originals for our more pretentious time."[2] In a retrospective review, Allmusic's Ron Wynn gave it three out of five stars and said that, along with her singing's "perfect mix of uncertainty, irony, and edge," the album is highlighted by "I Wonder If I Take You Home" and "All Cried Out", which he said is "arguably still her finest performance."[3]
