Other reviews were less flattering. In a review for PopMatters, Adrien Begrand, praised songs like "Slow" and "Sweet Music" but dismissed the rest as "forgettable" and nothing "more than mere filler". Begrand also called "Body Language" a "bit of a misstep" from her previous album Fever. ^[3] Sharon O'Connell, from Launch.com, gave the album a five out of ten calling it "an ill-judged move" due to its praise of 80s disco music and its references to 80s "cheese music" made by Duran Duran, Dead or Alive and one-hit wonders Nu Shooz. ^[4] PopMatters is an international magazine of cultural criticism. ...
