I think it was mostly trashed by people who were upset that she didn't sound 'raw' or 'heavy' anymore and this one was even poppier sounding than 'Is This Desire?' Don't quote me on that, I don't really remember. I do remember a general feeling in the air that she had totally lost her intensity, polished her sound, and just wasn't the same.

I was one of the people who wanted more of the earliest stuff but I still really liked the album when I listened to it. Still do.
