Rolling Stone (2/4/99, p.63) - "...the "bad girls of Bad Boy" slip out from under Puff Daddy's shadow. Silky as lingerie, the ladie's voices rasp and sidle in erotic counterpoint...girls and boys are welcome in this pleasure dome..."
Entertainment Weekly (12/18/98, pp.86-87) - "...Despite all the heavy breathing, the diva trio's pillow talk peters out. However, bed-board-bangin' beats from Missy Elliott, Timbaland, Heavy D., and the Puff master himself turn this into a partial, if not total, bump-and-grind masterpiece." - Rating: B
