AllMusic     [1]

AllMusic editor David Jeffries found that "it's doubtful that the title is intentionally ironic, but with the usual combination of slow jams, interludes, and club tracks, It's Already Written does sound like it could have been written for anybody [...] A little more personality next time would be beneficial, but for now Houston's just a great singer with a killer single and a handful of decent tracks."[1]
