Background
On the album, Black says, "The stories in my book have earned their way there. I have a passion that I want to share with others and inspire. Listen and take these stories with you. They speak for themselves. It’s simple without being simplistic. It’s 38 minutes and not that complicated. Just take a listen."
Critical reception
Metro News gave this album a generally negative review, citing its generic rock sound, "Her latest won’t achieve that goal [of worldwide success], it’s a misguided attempt at broadening her fan base by tackling run-of-the-mill rock. On the flip side the album had received positive reviews from straight.com "The Toronto R&B singer has a generous spirit, a willingness to be real, to give of herself completely, that infuses each and every song that she sings with gravitas".
