Critical reception

Smash Hits named Let Loose Best New Album. Jordan Paramor wrote, "Let Loose have waited years for success and they're living proof that all good things come to those who wait. The album takes patience though. On the first listen your fingers tap about, by the second your bums jigging and by the third... WHAM! Air guitars aloft! Strum away to the funky "Devotion", ping your strings to the smoochy "Shame" and swoon to the lovely "Best in Me". All hail the Guns N'Roses of pop!"^[10]
