Critical response[edit]

So Good achieved generally positive reviews from critics. In a retrospective review, AllMusic editor, Alex Henderson praised Paris's 'fine range', describing her as an 'earthy singer' and compared her to American singer Natalie Cole. Furthermore, he wrote that Paris 'is among the many noteworthy talents to come out of Britain's healthy R&B scene of the 1980s and '90s'. Henderson listed 'the haunting 'My One Temptation,' the jazz-influenced 'Sway (Dance the Blues Away)' and the sizzling 'Nothing Hits Your Heart like Soul Music' as the album's 'more noteworthy cuts' but commented that 'Where Is the Love'... makes it crystal clear that she's quite capable of depth' and 'does the most to test what Paris is truly made of'.
