Critical reception
Allmusic editor Alex Henderson called's Changing Faces's debut "a pleasant, if less than spectacular, start [...] In fact, pretty much everything on this CD favors a medium tempo – the New York duo doesn't inundate the listener with either ultra-slow ballads or fast, danceable material. Cassandra Lucas and Charisse Rose, collectively Changing Faces, are competent singers and while slow jams like "Thoughts of You," "Movin' On," and "Come Closer" are neither mind-blowing nor distinctive, they're likable enough [...] Even though this slick debut isn't a gem, it let listeners know that Changing Faces had potential."
