In his review for AllMusic, editor Alex Henderson felt that "containing mostly ballads and slow jams, the CD is very much in the late '90s neo-soul vein – the production is high-tech and hip-hop-ish, but the singing is classic R&B. Washington often brings to mind Alexander O'Neal, and he also shows an awareness of Luther Vandross and Freddie Jackson. A few of the tracks are excellent [...] most of the other material, however, is decent, although not remarkable. But while KW isn't the all-out gem that Washington is quite capable of providing, it was still nice to see him recording again."[2] Billboard found that with KW "Washington brings his no-nonsense ballads and think-on-it, midtempo tracks to the table [...] It will be interesting to see how [he] fares against such other balladeers as R. Kelly and Maxwell."[3]
