AllMusic[1]

Despite the record's middle portion having "a mild creative misstep" with doo wop production that's "old-fashioned and repetitive", Matthew Chisling from AllMusic said that "Divine Brown is one of those unfortunate artists who deserve so much more credit than they actually get. Brown's self titled debut album is a gorgeous display of talent […] The music on the album is just amazing."[1]
