AllMusic wrote that Brutha's "self-titled debut album shows them to be adept at conjuring up romantic moods atop arrangements that neatly avoid the usual slow-jam cliches."[3]DJBooth.net noted that Brutha was "punctuated by club ready tracks like "Can't Hear" and the Ne-Yo-esque "What If," but the bulk of the album is filled with mid-tempo crooning about love sought after and lost. In fact, the true measure of a black male R&B group is how hotly they inspire sweet love-making [...] and on that count Brutha comes out somewhere in between Day26 and Jagged Edge."[2]
