"Toni Braxton may have just got engaged to hip-hop mogul Birdman, but there isn't any sign of a heel-clicking, lamppost-swinging flush of love here - she seems permanently marooned in a Mariana trench of post-breakup misery. This is of course her dominant mode ... No real joy or happiness, mind - you do rather feel for Birdman listening to it for the first time".

"The queen of the coy R&B ballad returns for her first solo album in nearly a decade, making only a few concessions to contemporary trends ... There is palpable anger in her voice on "Sex & Cigarettes," but beneath it is a deep sea of tranquility, and it's the latter tone that defines her performances on this album".

"As her 1993 blockbuster debut approached its 25th anniversary, Toni Braxton proceeded to collect accolades while moving forward ... Her every-few-years release schedule was maintained with this short album, in which she responds to a habitually philandering lover with her distinctive mix of fire and finesse. This has more of the former element than any previous Braxton release".
