AllMusic editor Jose F. Promis retrospectively declared the album's ballads "lush and dramatic", mentioning "Love Will Lead You Back". However, he felt that the "real killers" are the rock songs, which Dayne "delivers like a true, seasoned rock star", noting that "I'll Be Your Shelter" "brings to mind Tina Turner". Promis highlighted also "You Can't Fight Fate" and "Ain't No Good", and concluded, "Years after its release, this album stands the test of time, and can safely be classified as one of the more diverse and exciting dance/pop/rock albums of the late '80s/early '90s."[2] People stated, "Not many singers can go from hot to dreamy and back again as smoothly as Dayne does on this first-rate album." The reviewer felt the singer "has the spirit and rhythmic sense" to turn "I'll Be Your Shelter" into "a vivacious party track", but remarked that she also can "dig for depth and rich tone" on ballads, such as "Love Will Lead You Back".[5]
