Critical reception

AllMusic's William Ruhlman noted that the music lightly borrows from hip-hop music and has a rap music influence. He also said that Grammer's music leans toward a female audience, usually directing himself to a significant other and singing words of encouragement and affection. Entertainment Weeklys Tanner Stransky gave the album an overall B grade, stating that it sounded "like a mash-up of Jason Mraz, Michael Bublé, and John Legend. It's all easily listenable, if scarcely original."
