[6] Metacritic gave the album a score of 66 out of 100.[5] indicating 'generally favorable reviews'. In the December 30, 2000 issue of Billboard, contributor David Nathan listed Exposed at number three on his Critic's Choice list. Nathan expressed, 'long-awaited mainstream breakthrough album shows she can compete with the best of 'em'.[10] Steve Kurutz from Allmusic gave the album a review of 4 stars out of 5.[6] Kurutz stated "Exposed, which was executive produced by Dupri and recorded mainly in Atlanta (the exception being the Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis-produced "Love's Still Alright," which was recorded in L.A.) makes a bid to capture some of that trademark funkiness. Moore has a great set of pipes, a mix of the throaty take charge style of Toni Braxton and the soft vulnerability of Janet Jackson, an undeniable sexiness, and a real emotional conviction that lends the songs an authenticity absent in many current releases.
