Tuhia he tohutoro mō tēnei wāhanga - I whakamoemiti a Virginia Heffernan o "The New York Times" i te ataata hei "mahi", "kaikaha", me te "kore i te nohopuku" me "nga mahi whakakitenga [e] rite ana ki te whakauru i nga waahanga iti o te kiri, me nga huringa whakarihariha". I whakatauritea e ia te kaupapa o te ataata o te "kanikani kanikani i te rama rama" ki te pouri o te Tai Tokerau o 2003
, mā te whakamahi i te "akoranga hapori" o te kaikanikani e whakairi ana i tētahi waea parahi mai i tētahi pūnaha oro huri noa i tētahi pākahiko motokā hei whakaputa hiko i roto i tētahi whare kua mahue. I whakatau a Hefferanan ko te "lo-fi" o te riipene ataata e whakahee ana ki te hanga "he whakaaturanga nui mo tana hononga ki ana kaikanikani". "Ko te New York Blade" i whakaaro he "tino whakaongaonga", i te mea "He wera, he taumaha hoki a Jackson me ana kaikanikani ki a ratau ano ki te waiata o te waiata", i te wa i tuu ai a "King Magazine" i te riipene ataata hei tuatoru i runga i ta raatau raarangi o nga "Whakataataataina a Janet Jackson", e kii ana ko "he maha o nga mea whakamataku". I whakawhiwhia te riipene ataata ki etahi tohu tohu, penei i te 20th Annual International Dance Music Awards, i roto i te waahanga "Ataata Kanikani Pai rawa atu" me te "Whakaaturanga Pai rawa atu", MVPA Awards mo te "Whakaaturanga Pai rawa atu", me tana kaiwhakahaere Francis Laurence i whakaingoatia mo te "Whakaaturanga Pai rawa atu o te Kaitoi Wahine" me te wikitoria "Kaiwhakahaere o te Tau", mo nga riipene ataata maha tae atu ki te "All Nite (Kaua e Kati).
