The music is dark, minimalist funk -- sexy, drowsy, electro-soul.

SpinShe reinvents herself as a salacious digital temptress, crooning through soulful slow rollers. [Mar 2002, p.129]
-
BlenderTuneful, kinky and deeply rooted in groove--a combination that evokes the best of both Prince and Macy Gray. [Feb/Mar 2002, p.112]
-
Some of the best baby-making music since Barry White.
-
It's sporadically entertaining and intermittently interesting.
-
The first thirty minutes are a chaotic mess of style over substance, and while Joi's weirdness immediately sets her apart, "It's Your Life" and "Techno Pimp" are cloying and difficult to listen to.
-
Failed experiments ("Techno Pimp") and a glut of odd skits and snippets not only seem forced, but make a mainstream move such as the friendly disco of "Missing You" sound equally bizarre.
