'' Desire '' was met with mixed reviews from music critics . A writer for TayoTV assigned a score of 7 out of 10 , adding , " After listening to the album a couple of times , I believe Iyanya has room to improve . He has good producers who supply him with great beats , some of the track are awesome but some were below par . " Reviewing for '' Nigerian Entertainment Today '' , Ayomide Tayo said the album is " nothing more than a product of the times we live in " . He also said the album is a " pop driven LP aimed at pleasing a demography that loves beats and dance , at the expense of lyrics " . The music blog Jaguda gave the album 2.5 stars out of 5 , adding , " Desire is a jam-packed with very shallow and monotonous club and radio friendly cuts which will hold grounds individually but as a body of work , it falls flat on its face . " Wilfred Okiche , whose review was on '' YNaija '' website , said the album is mediocre . Okiche further stated that majority of the artists on the LP " can not see past their hunger for fame and today ’s club banger " . '' Desire '' was nominated for Album of the Year and Best R&B / Pop Album at The Headies 2013 .
