Review
Eberhard Dobler of Laut.de awards two stars out of five and said the album would satisfy the expectations of the mainstream and the fans completely. He praises the quality of the productions, which would not hide from those of Christina Aguilera and Britney Spears. However, he misses sound experiments and innovative arrangements and thinks Connor dare not jump to the next level sound. Matthias Reichel of Cdstarts.de gives the album 4 out of 10. However, the advance single Music Is The Key he calls ideal for the holiday season through their ballad bombast, she finds that the song boldly from the song One sweet day by Mariah Carey and Boyz abkupfert by style and melody II Men. This impression is reinforced by the New York cappella band Naturally 7. Compared to the previous album Key to My Soul was kept quiet. He criticized that ruling on the album Kitsch, bombast and Allerweltspop and thus comes to the conclusion that the album a waste of time and no more than well-intentioned elevator music was.
