Chuck Arnold wrote in People: "After guesting with Jay-Z and Nas, this jazzy neo-soul sister makes a killer star turn with help from John Legend, Babyface and will.i.am. Part Erykah Badu, part Corinne Bailey Rae and part Macy Gray, she rivals Amy Winehouse for the year's best debut" ("Music: Recent Raves," 7/16/07, p. 45).
