Daniel Levin Becker of the Yale Daily News reviewed the debut solo effort of Destinys’ Child star Kelly Rowland, giving ‘Simply Deep’ a negative verdict.

“Not only does Kelly Rowland’s solo turn come across as stale and relatively derivative, but it also fails at the crucial task of setting her apart from her sisters” Daniel said.

“Its strengths are little different from the strengths of ‘Survivor’, while its weak moments range from the nondescript to the notably unpleasant. She covers very little new ground, when she breaks off on her own, she sounds uneasy and hesitant, and when she doesn’t she seems to lack the heart she has with the rest of her group.”
