AllMusic     [4]

AllMusic editor Andy Kellman found that on Full Circle "Stone is at her best here when she is granted material that wouldn't make half as much sense handled by any other artist. These moments include a burning and conflicted throwback ballad with Jaheim ("Gonna Have to Be You"), the strutting summertime groove "Perfect," and the reflectively frank "Neverbride." It gets a little too candid on "Grits," a graphic slow jam in which Stone acts as a voyeuristic sex therapist for a younger couple. The album's slightly reedy mix unfortunately diminishes the richness of Stone's voice."[4]
