Allmusic[2]

Alex Henderson from Allmusic found that "creatively, Avant's sophomore album, Ecstasy, is a step forward for the Cleveland-based urban contemporary singer. This 2002 release isn't perfect – some of the tracks are routine and pedestrian. But Ecstasy contains more gems than My Thoughts [...] For every minus that you can find on this release, there are three or four pluses."[2]
