AllMusic's Stephen Thomas Erlewine praised the contributions from Mario Winans ("Got Me Going", "Co-Star"), Danja ("In My Bed") and Malay ("I'm the Reason") and the group's vocal performance throughout the track listing feeling more at ease than "the stiff, labored Danity Kane," despite lacking a distinct "on-record personality," concluding that: "Day26 are indeed a vocal group for their time: they serve the production as much as the production serves them." DJBooth's Nathan Slavik commended the Bad Boy team for allowing the group's performance to be "largely effects-free" and highlighted "Come In" and "Exclusive" as standouts but critiqued that their "still on the teenage side" when it comes to slow jams, concluding with: "[I]s this album truly the second coming of the Age of the Black Male Super Group? Not really, but it's close enough to make me hopeful, and that's going to have to be enough – for now." ==Commercial performance==
