criticism
The album received rather negative reviews. For example, Robert Copsey of Digital Spy said:
"He even gets Jennifer Lopez painstakingly linking candy with G-spots on 'Sweet Spot', though there is minor solace on Rick Ross-helmed 'Thinking of You'. The result has the cohesion of a compilation album, but then he is a 'singles artist' after all. "
and just forgave the album .
