Allmusic[1]

Andy Kellman, writing for Allmusic, found that "as with the three albums that preceded it, Promise to Love consists almost entirely of smooth and quiet ballads that regard long-term devotion and self-improvement. [Kem] remains an antidote to prevailing contemporary R&B sounds. When he sings of going downtown, he means geographically, not anatomically – and guest Snoop Dogg, on his best behavior, displays restraint. [...] Kem might do one thing, but he does that one thing very well. Four- and five-year waits aside, the man knows how to please his listeners."[1]
