Critical reception

Allmusic editor Dacia A. Blodgett-Williams wrote that "as one would expect from a seasoned artist like Knight, the entire album is musically sound from a critic's standpoint, and the messages of the lyrics leave an indelible impression on the listener [...] The music on this album cannot be neatly confined to any one genre. It has a little bit of soul, a bit of rock, and a bit of gospel. And the result is an album that has a huge amount of appeal for not only her longtime fans, but for the new audience she attracted in 1997 when she joined the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. It's representative of a new focus at that time of her life, but is not representative of her entire body of work."
