Matt Cibula of PopMatters described the album as "awe-inspiring and cool and touching and kind of avant-garde in a weird homegrown way". Jon Caramanica of Rolling Stone wrote that Moses has "a cheery, twee voice, and on her debut she uses it to sass the men in her life." Patrick Taliaferro of Vibe viewed the album as "a great entry into the R&B game", adding that "Moses is appealing when revealing her country B-girl bravado, but at the end it's actually all we see, variations in her approach would have been nice." The album earned Moses comparisons to R&B artists such as Mary J. Blige, Deniece Williams , and Cherrelle .Track listing All tracks produced by Paul Poli, except where noted.Notes The German edition of the album is enhanced to include the music video for "Be Your Girl".
