Det kan vel være, Beyoncé og Rihanna er mere feterede end Ciara, og Rihanna har endda disset sin kollega for den manglende succes. Men selvom Ciara næppe havner på Roskilde Festivals Orange Scene, bliver hun bare bedre og bedre. Det kan høres på den 27-årige r&b-sangerindes femte album, hvor Ciara både kan være slick og sød, ikke mindst på de ganske forrygende duetter med Nicki Minaj og på den inciterende single "Ride", hvor Ciara bedyrer, at <i>"I can do it big, I can do it long, I can do whenever or however you want".</i> Måske Ciaras øjeblik langt om længe er kommet.

"Ciara took plenty of time to develop the album -- long enough for delays, a scrapped lead single ("Sweat"), the release of various non-album cuts, and even a change of title (originally One Woman Army). The result isn't a muddled mess but another lean and focused set, despite the involvement of several writers and producers".

"At its best, Ciara has some really good pop music. The production, writing, singing, and overall packaging comes together to make ideal pop-R&B records. Unfortunately, inconsistency keeps Ciara from being a masterpiece. It almost seems silly to say that it had that kind of potential, but if this album was made up of 11 tracks at the level of "Body Party","DUI", and the Future-assisted "Where You Go", this might've been elevated to another level".
