The AllMusic editor Pemberton Roach found that the album "reveals that the younger Clark is more than up to carrying on the family legacy. Produced by Kierra's Brother J. Drew, the album is a thoroughly modern slice of hip-hop-ish R&B, replete with skittering dance beats, funky bass lines, and vocals altered with all sorts of up-to-date computer effects. Sailing above it all are Sheard’s powerful and assured vocals, at once secularly soulful and full of the Spirit."[1] Kenya M. Yarbrough of EURweb reviewed the album favorably.[4]

Accolades

The album was nominated for a Dove Award for Urban Album of the Year at the 40th GMA Dove Awards.[5]
