Reception

Cyclone Wehner from The Herald Sun gave the album 4 out of 5 saying; "Melbourne's Zoe Badwi is bringing back the Euro-pop diva with her unpretentious debut." and while complementing the 'club bangers', said ""One Step Behind" is eerie underground "prog" house and "Believe You" is a splendid piano ballad Mariah Carey would covet." concluding it sounds like "music for a big Friday night".[1]
