The Baltimore Sun noted that "the melodies [Dupri] hands this harmonizing foursome are strong enough to leave any listener humming along, but he's also smart enough to leave room for rap and showy solo passages."[5] The Philadelphia Daily News opined that "the production has an ultra-light feel, verging on the cheap 'n' cheesy."[3]
