AllMusic | [1] |
AllMusic editor Jonathan Widran rated the album three out of five stars. He found that "all of the intensely commercial beats, choruses, and productions will earn Javier much deserved attention, and he will also no doubt attract some legitimate standing as a potential jazz artist with the closer, "October Sky," a silky late-night jazz ballad featuring jazz icons Roy Hargrove and Mulgrew Miller."[1]
