group of the moment, ruling the radio with fluid R&B, and they are shouting it." Sheffield at the end wrote that "the only real weakness on Survivor is the self-righteous tone creeping into the songs. These gals are on a roll, no doubt about it, and if there's no telling where Destiny's Child will go from here, that's part of the drama that keeps us glued to the pop spectacle they've set in motion - and Survivor is packed with enough hits to keep the show rolling."
