Allmusic	[1]

Allmusic editor Alex Henderson found that Just for You "is a decent R&B/pop effort that, although not in a class with Knight's classic Motown and Buddha recordings with the Pips, has more strengths than weaknesses. The singer's voice had held up impressively well over the years, and she uses it advantageously on a superb cover of The Impressions' 1969 classic "Choice of Colors" (clearly the highlight of the CD), as well as such memorable offerings as the gospel-influenced "Guilty" (a commentary on racism and sexism that makes its point without preaching) and the stirring ballad "Home Alone." The CD isn't essential, but it's generally honest, well-executed and satisfying."[1]

gollark: But sometimes they already knew about it.

gollark: See, sometimes I tell heav that they should fear a particular recent technological development.

gollark: No, that is a mere example.

gollark: So obviously such information should go here instead of direct DM messages.

gollark: I suggested we make it because heavpoot said someone had informed them about GLIDE before me.
