Tara Henley of The Georgia Straight noted that beneath the slickly produced, hip hop–tinged, pop veneer of tracks like "Shook (The Answer)" lies an arresting voice, magnetic charisma, and driving ambition.[3]

Unpredictable

A track features an interpolated melody from "I Ain't Mad At Cha" by Tupac. Denise Sheppard from Amazon said Unpredictable was "a sugar-pop track that definitely appealed to her younger audience.'"[4]
