AllMusic

AllMusic editor Leo Stanley rated the album three ouf of five stars. He felt that This Time It's Personal finds "the West Coast trio expanding their sound, creating a sexy blend of hip-hop and contemporary soul. Despite their attempts to make the music personal, the album offers more surface pleasures than substance, but their sound is often alluring enough to make such problems minor."
