As of June 9, 2015, "Minamahal" can now be heard on the radio. It is considered as the third single from the album. The music video was released on November 20, 2015, uploaded in Viva Records YouTube Channel, five months after the songs radio release.^[10] The music video immediately went viral on Twitter.

The album has received generally favorable reviews. Baby Gil of Philippine Star called the album as "perfectly different" and praised Sarah by saying "It is nice to hear Sarah trying out new beats, experimenting with her ad-libs, testing her limits and getting away with the totally unexpected."^[13] Ricky Calderon of the same organization has praised Sarah for embracing the current pop sounds of today.^[14]

Malaya Philippines commended the album's vibrant new sound as she tackles different genres from pop to R&B to EDM.^[15]

Rito Asilo of Philippine Daily Inquirer described the tracks on the album as a blend of "career-reinventing dance tracks" and "gorgeously sung ballads" that would appeal to her followers.^[16]

Isah Red of Manila Standard Today noted Geronimo's transition to more upbeat music which can be seen through the tracks "Kilometro" (Kilometer) and "Bangon" (Rise). He also described the slow to mid-tempo ballads like "Kung Sabagay" (As A Matter Of Fact) and "Minamahal" (Loved) as tunes that could hold their own when compared to her past hits.^[17]

Punch Liwanag of Manila Bulletin stated that it is an album of vibrant changes and may influence the way Filipino music may sound. He quoted "The kicker in this album is the bubblegum-pop sounding title track and the piano-decked ballad “Bulletproof.” Canadian import producer Adam Hurstfield (Ne-Yo, Superjunior and Backstreet Boys) gave a Top 40 sheen to SG's sound that, unsurprisingly, fits the singer."^[18]
