The Globe and Mail opined that "there's something depressing about seeing Sweet, at 20, going the AOR Pat Benatar route".^[15] The Corpus Christi Times likewise dismissed Sweet as "Benatar, junior division".^[16] The Blade-Tribune said that Sweet's "strong in the blues rock now, adding a definite mellowing factor to her once sizzling rock and roll."^[17] The Daily Record admired Sweet's work ethic but suggested that "it may have prematurely exhausted her resources."^[18]

The New York Daily News noted that Sweet "is futilely attempting to 'meld' her '70s sassy, high-voiced teenybop rock 'n' roll style with the Motown soul technique".^[10] The Philadelphia Inquirer stated that "there are several excellent songs—rockers and ballads".^[14] The Edmonton Journal called Sweet "pouty and antagonistic, a siren with a touch of country twang."^[19] The Detroit Free Press labeled the album "mindless pop rock fun".^[20]
