AllMusic editor Andy Kellman called the album Boyz II Men's "most enjoyable work since 2000's Nathan Michael Shawn Wanya." He found that "rather than attempt to compete with younger acts on the charts, they largely stick to their tried and true approach and appeal to their longtime listeners. Some of the slower songs get a little raunchy, but most of them switch between romantic pleading and uplifting/inspirational modes [...] That Boyz II Men still have it, both individually and collectively, is undeniable; their group harmonies sound as easy as ever. That’s what they had over most contemporary R&B acts in 1991, and that's what they have over all of them in 2011."^[7]
