of 100, indicating "generally favorable reviews". Christian Hoard of Rolling Stone said that "Ciara's still prone to diva blandness and silly little pop songs...but this time she's more interesting by half." For AllMusic, Andy Kellman wrote that "there are plenty of tracks geared toward letting loose and dancing, and most of them do deliver, even if they don't seem quite as fresh as Ciara's past hits", and Entertainment Weekly called the dance songs "rugged and terrific, but eventually the tempos slow and the album slowly settles." Billboard, on the other hand, gave a mixed review and said, "Songs such as the Rodney Jerkins-produced "Make It Last Forever" and "Get Up," produced by Jazze Pha and also featured on the film soundtrack to "Step Up," are surefire club hits, although such ballads as "It's Over" tend to fall flat. Nonetheless, "The Evolution" should one, two-step Ciara even closer to superstardom." In his Consumer Guide, Robert Christgau gave the album a one-star honorable mention (), stating, "If this hottie next door believes she's moving on up toward 'I'm Just Me' and 'I Found Myself,' I want to know why they're not the singles (yet)"; and picked out two songs from the album: "That's Right" and "Like a Boy".
