Mikael Wood from the Los Angeles Times gave the album a mixed review, saying that it "darts somewhat haphazardly from sleek dance-pop tunes ... to schmaltzy slow jams" but also that "it also feels like an honest showcase of the singer's voice ... its strength lives up to that of [his] collaborators." AllMusic's Andy Kellman gave it 3 out of 5 stars and wrote "As a showcase for a teenage powerhouse vocalist, Charice does succeed, but a more balanced mix of heart-heavy and upbeat material would have made the desired Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey comparisons more accurate". Billboard gave the album a generally positive review, noting that "the set's stylistic shifts—from teen-oriented pop to a touch of rock ("In Love So Deep") to anthemic ballads—ultimately leaves you wondering just which audience [Zyrus] is eyeing: [his] teen peers or their moms," before concluding that "Though it doesn't hit on all cylinders, the album leaves no doubt as to [Zyrus's] talent—and promising future." ==Commercial performance==

The album debuted at number eight on the Billboard 200 chart (issue of May 29, 2010), with sales of 43,000 copies in its first week of release in the United States. In Canada the album debuted at number four on the Billboard Canadian Albums. ==Track listing==
