The Guardian critic Caroline Sullivan called the album "a decent showing from one of the less idiotic boy bands. She found that Blue's previous album All Rise "was such a sterling example of what thoughtful production can achieve in the boy-band genre that they can be excused for duplicating it across this album. The strategy essentially pays off, though half a dozen of the 15 tracks [...] could have been left on the cutting-room floor. Things amble along in a satisfyingly low-key way, with as much attention lavished on strong, soulful harmonies as laid-back R&B trimmings."^[4] Sharon Mawer from AllMusic rated the album three stars out of five.^[2]
