  1. Stylus Magazine

    Just Like You shows and proves unquestionably that Cole's capable of some seriously rich, powerful art.
  2. All Music Guide
    90
    This stands as a very good album by Keyshia Cole, also the point where Cole's voice grows from an occasionally powerful emotive device into a versatile instrument.
  3. Amazon.com
    90
    Keyshia Cole proves for a second time--for sure and way beyond the shadow of a doubt--that she's headed for Mary J. Blige-style hugeness.
  4. Village Voice
    80
    You can't deny the pleasure of finding a ride-or-die chick who's vulnerable, but can still kick your trifling ass.
  5. Billboard
    70
    Throughout, Cole leaves behind her staple vibrato, which is refreshing.
  6. The New York Times
    70
    The new songs can't help but sound rather mild, and maybe even constricting.... Still, this is a likable and well-sung album.

    Striken, sorrowful balladry is the meat of this fine album. [Feb 2008, p.102]

  8. Rolling Stone
    60
    A work of engaging, pop-wise R&B.
  9. Hartford Courant
    60
    A late-album glut of so-so, mid-to-slow-tempo material like the Anthony Hamilton duet 'Losing You' and 'Work It Out' leaves you with a lesser impression than the disc probably deserves.
  10. Entertainment Weekly
    50
    The counterintuitive lushness smothers Cole's modest wail on cuts like'heaven Sent.' [28 Sep 2007, p.105]

  11. Boston Globe
    50
    Keyshia Cole's street edge sets her apart from her polished R&B peers, but the Oakland, Calif., songstress could have used a good editor on her second album, which is bogged down by too many ballads and overly lush production.

    I love this album it is the best. Her style and voice is amazing. I like her music because she relates to every female. Especially I remember; she sings about all the heartache she went through and how it hurt her so much. She has stepped up from the first album. That is what I like about her music. Every song is better than the last song and album.… Full Review »

    I loved the emotion this cd makes me feel. Listening to "Get my Heart Back" makes me think of all the times when I wanted to erase the past. She just nailed the after the love is gone feelings.… Full Review »
