  1. Entertainment Weekly
    75
    Exposed's airy, girlish pop--especially cotton-candy Casio grooves like 'Future Love' and 'Died in Your Eyes'--mostly recalls the female stars of her dad's era: Lisa Lisa & Cult Jam, Paula Abdul, and (coincidence?) Expose.
  2. All Music Guide
    70
    Though her voice has yet to fully develop and lacks the uniqueness running through her bloodline, it's clear she landed a major-label contract on the basis of her talent.
  3. Los Angeles Times
    63
    Although DeBarge has nothing unique to say about falling in or out of love, what she does have--strong tunes, a nice voice and an ample supply of fresh-faced charm--is far more important.
  4. Rolling Stone
    60
    On her Babyface-assisted debut, this 19-year-old nearly pulls a hamstring striving for the emotive power of Rihanna or Christina. But she's most fun riding lilting, girly R&B not so different from her dad James' tunes in 1980s group DeBarge.
