The songs aren't always as strong as the performances, but Zhane's vocal charisma makes such shortcomings forgivable. ~ Leo Stanley |

| | Professional Reviews | | Rolling Stone (6/12/97, p.116)
- 3 Stars (out of 5)
- "...an old-fashioned ode to good times....Even when Zhane muse on love, it's in an innocent, Carole King kind of way....the duo's sexy, smooth sound will--at the very least--make you move..."Q (5/97, p.129)
- 3 Stars (out of 5)
- "...This is another supreme example of their art; within minutes, tracks like 'Request Line' are slapping down the bass and butts are, ahem, shaking..." |
