John Bush of AllMusic in praise wrote "More of a soul band than similar British outfits (Jamiroquai, Brand New Heavies, and Galliano), D'Influence uses their third album to expand the sound into several different directions, including stabs at rapping, gospel, and even salsa. Surprisingly, the genre-crossing works quite well, thanks mostly to the sweet vocals of Sara Ann Webb."
