Critical reception[]

Music & Media wrote, "Here you get the numbers A1-A10 on jukeboxes in mediterranean holiday resorts this summer and way beyond. The button on the old but reliable Wurlitzer corresponding with current single Think Of You will be pressed most. Also keep your finger on the Ace Of Base-like pop reggae tune Big Time." British magazine Music Week commented, "Pulling together all of the hit singles and a few more besides, Whigfield's debut album should attract a few interested parties and prove she's no one hit wonder."[5]
