Paula Edelstein of AllMusic called Eleven "a sleek, pop/jazz offering that will have you swinging and swaying to their groovy guitars, big horns, and soulful vocals...The soulful vocals of Maysa Leak and Imaani bring a great dimension to Jean-Paul "Bluey" Maunick's company and it's definitely a keeper."[3]
