Reception
Upon release, Bob Eborall of Ealing Leader wrote: "Sam gives us the full works on a new album of across-the-range songs. Ranging from the jazzy title track to the rocking "They're the Ones", and my favourite tracks, "Embrace the Darkness" and the tender "Whisper"." Stephen Thomas Erlewine of AllMusic described the album as "arguably her best effort yet". He commented: "She's developed into a first-rate songwriter, capable of crafting melodic, memorable songs with true emotion and depth. It's mature pop with many layers and levels."Personnel
