Critical reception
AllMusic reviewer Andy Kellman found that "the disc is not the most distinctive set of the former Immature member's career, highlighted by the breezy "Express Lane" (which could have only been written in the wake of Jamie Foxx's "Blame It") and "Stranger," where Houston is at his unassuming best."[2]
