Reviews[]

Norman Meyers of Nu-Soul Magazine says "Davina sells these tracks thanks to her appropriately husky voice and honey-dipped delivery. But the album surprises halfway through with some more experimental sounds that liven things up. The skittering drum and bass staccato rhythms of "Stop" is one such track as is the broken beat "Walk On Bye". The bizarre electronics of "Gone" elevates the standard "get yo shit and gone" track into another arena. With this album it appears that Davina is truly embracing the future."^[1]
