Critical reception[edit]

A reviewer from People Magazine wrote, "Not only has Robyn mastered the English language (she writes all her own material), but she also challenges teen queens Brandy and Monica at their own hip-hop soul game. Just listen to the assured manner with which her voice glides over the swaggering, syncopated funk of “In My Heart” and “You’ve Got That Somethin’”."[1]
