Critical reception

Ross Hoffman from Allmusic gave the album a mixed review, awarding it two and a half stars. He noted that the three first songs, which are" Cry for You", "Satellites" and "Can't Get Over", were the best from the album. However, he did say that the albums "material is slightly cringe-inducing". He actually said that "The main problem with September's music is that, unlike her Scandinavian counterparts such as Robyn and Annie, she doesn't project much personality -- her voice is decent, and even warm at times, but the lyrics are empty and she comes off as a complete cipher."^[1] Kurt Kirton from About.com was more favorable, awarding it three-and-a-half stars out of five. He stated "I recommend this album for anyone who enjoys good dance-pop.".<ref name=About">"September - September". Dancemusic.about.com. 2008-02-26.
