a refreshing attempt at R&B-infused pop that never once tries to imitate its U.S. counterparts but does leave its U.K. contemporaries trailing in its wake." Peter Robinson from NME declared the ablbum "something of a triumph." He found that "the people who do that sort of thing have assembled 14 strong, solid tracks across R&B, ’80s electro funk, 2-step and straightforward pop, and married them to spot-on production values. Result? The most 2002 pop album of 2002." In his review for PopMatters, Duncan White found that Thinking It Over "has been well planned [and] catchy songs have been written." He remarked that the album is "expertly targeted. Bland and spineless, Liberty X disguise themselves in the sham clothes of their more credible "peers". I'm not going to dip into the predictable rant on manufactured pop, but I do find it sinister that, like a "smart" bomb, a band can be so precisely targeted." The Guardian journalist Caroline Sullivan wrote that "the future appears brighter for losing Popstars finalists Liberty X than for the winning Hear'Say [...] The single "Just a Little" is a poised wispette rooted in the same slinky pop/R&B soil that produced All Saints and Sugababes. Other bits of "Thinking It Over" pull off the same feat, making potentially cheesy songs sound almost cool through the use of sparse beats and composed vocals dominated by the band's three girls. The inevitable cover version isn't, for once, a 1970s standard but Mantronix's 1990 hit "Got to Have Your Love." So: not bad."
