Review
Jessica Mule from Renowned for Sound gave the album 3 out of 5 saying; "Human Nature had a mission. And that mission was to recreate and cover the perfect old school jukebox playlist for the second time round" but at time pondered if she'd heard them do these songs before. Mule complemented on the sole original track on the album, "Forgive Me Now" saying it's "An echoed plea of apology, with quite a beautiful tone and build up, starting with an acoustic plucked guitar and vocal, before adding in the background harmonies, drums, and strings. It just goes to remind us that Human Nature can perform more than just covers.
