inventive songwriting and accessible, polished yet soulful production [...] He is still compelling – his voice is as smooth as silk, and nearly as seductive – but it doesn't quite have the force of personality as his greatest productions. Nevertheless, <i>The Day</i> qualifies as state-of-the-art mid-'90s soul, featuring a handful of terrific songs, and a lot of extremely pleasurable filler."<sup id="cite_ref-Allmusic_6-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Allmusic-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> David Browne from <i><a href="/wiki/Entertainment_Weekly" title="Entertainment Weekly">Entertainment Weekly</a></i> wrote that on the album, Babyface "immerses himself in the same hot-tub soul he's applied to everyone from <a href="/wiki/Toni_Braxton" title="Toni Braxton">Toni Braxton</a> to <a href="/wiki/Eric_Clapton" title="Eric Clapton">Eric Clapton</a>. All the Babyface trademarks — the crisp, unobtrusive percussion, the silky guitars, the harmonies that blanket the melodies like a quilt — are laid out like a three-piece suit.
