AllMusic	^[4]

AllMusic editor Andy Kellman gave the album two out of five stars. He found that "early-‘60s R&B, late-‘90s country, and early-‘80s rock are all part of the mix only hints at the randomness of the selections. Despite the range of the sources, Boyz II Men tie it all together, nearly to a fault. The group makes the occasional modification to the originals, like the ticking-clock vocal effect on Cyndi Lauper's "Time After Time"; otherwise, if you know the originals, and you know Boyz II Men, you can play these versions in your head without having heard them."^[4]
