    Adheres to the simple formula that worked so successfully on her debut, combining fluid, mid-tempo grooves with infectious vocal hooks. [Sep 2003, p.110]

    The songs have about as much personality as Ashanti's voice, but that actually is a point in its favor, since it keeps everything on an even keel and makes Gotti and Santana's stylish production the star.

    Lose the skits and a couple of ballads Ashanti may never be ready for, and her summery second outing delivers on the limited promise of her first.

    A startlingly generic effort. [Sep 2003, p.120]

    the first time i heard this album i must admit i was impressed. then i went and got her first album and i must admit again i was impressed.i can't choose which album sounds better because i like them both.and i want to go on record of saying that in my opinion ashant's album beat out every other female artist's album that came out that summer such as beyonce, mya ,and monica.her album was a bit better than those three. even tho i'm givin mad props to her album and music, i'm not a big fan let alone a fan at all of ashanti. to me in my opinion she reminds me of aaliyah and to me i think she's tryin to take her spot and that's not going to happen even on her best day. but in overall ashanti's album is worth your money.… Expand

    The CD was slow, boring, and just not that good. I found myself flipping from song to song, hoping for at least one of the songs to show any signs of life. The skits in between were cute at first but they became annoying midway through.… Expand
