Critical reception
The Huffington Post's Jon Chattman wrote, "Krissy Krissy has a distinct voice that stands out in a crowd, and by crowd, I mean a music industry with a bunch of pretenders and clones." MTV Buzzworthy wrote "“Tracks like “Broken Glass” showcase Krissy’s sultry vocals (we’re feeling some Mary J. Blige soul vibes mixed with some Natasha Bedingfield flair and even a little Mary Mary gospel realness)". The website Vashtie has described her as "a rising star"
