Allmusic     [1]

Allmusic editor John Jones called Believe in Me Belle's "strongest release" yet. He found that "Belle manages to utilize slick, hip production and update her sound without forgetting the most important element: strong hooks and well-written tunes. Eric "E-Smooth" Hicks provides the production backdrop for eight of the album's tracks, giving Belle the strongest rhythmic push her music has ever had [...] Even a couple of less interesting pop tunes aren't enough to weigh this project down. Filled with memorable hooks and irresistible grooves, Believe in Me finds Regina Belle at the top of her game."[1]
