Album Reviews: Vibe (3/94, p.107) - "...a spellbinding one-world statement, a collection of songs that arrive from various intercontinental points of origin but share her singular perspective....if this music starts from a place familiar to techno-rave enthusiasts, it soon becomes a vehicle for Kidjo's virtuosic feats....Kidjo treats her voice like it's a percussion instrument...."
Musician (3/94, p.88) - "...when she slows down or stretches out, Kidjo makes her strongest emotional connections...."
Q (2/94, p.93) - 3 Stars - Good - "...a new slant on global dance that embraces kicking rhythms and bubbling vocals, raucous bass lines and some western hooks and choruses....A polished attack on the mainstream...."
