People are receiving the album very well. These were some of the reactions:
"Amanda Black deserves everything! She literally never misses with albums"
"Amanda Black deserves real attention and praise coz wow, her songs hit harder than my dad's belt"
"Amanda black is that gurl that she thinks she is, like yhu 3 good albums"
"@AmandaBlackSA this album is the calmest music offering I've heard in SA in a long time. BUT It end too quickly. I guess it will be on repeat for a while. Thank you for the music #WeAreTalented"
However some people have been accusing her of tweeting woke things as of late to run those album sales up but some people have come to her defence to say that she has always been woke even before the release of her album.

I still do NOT take back what i said about @CyrilRamaphosa encouraging the mass killings of black people in phoenix. I lament and my heart still breaks for all the families who lost their loved ones through these senseless,racially driven murders. Black lives still matter to US!

This is what people said:
"What is wrong with dragging politicians names in the mud to sell albums? Amanda Black is highlighting the obvious. The timing is perfect and coincides with her latest offering. These politicians drag the dignity of black people in the mud on daily basis. I see nothing wrong"
"Activists have no agenda. Politicians do. All Amanda Black does is advocate for ethical governance. Is that too much to ask? And once again feel free to use your platform to praise the government for all the good u SEE! Allow us to criticize. Its not a crime. We have a right to"
"Knowing the oppressive regime of Cyril Ramaphosa, Amanda Black will probably be black balled by the industry if we don't protect her.. they will try and shut her out as an example to other artists, she's one of our own now, we need to ensure that we protect our own"
"Amanda Black unprovoked said that "Ramaphosa told Indians to kill blacks in his address to the nation" how can she be so dense and misinformed ,We all watched the same speech, Ramaphosa never told Indians to kill blacks, Mxm and she failed to address the 300 killed by the freezuma"
"I’m with Amanda Black as an artist they must always stand on the side of the masses not endorsements from the establishment we will buy her music"
"Amanda Black is those annoying left wingers who are schizophrenic and think they are wise and everyone else is either dumb or captured. Those 5G covid people"
"Shame Amanda Black is trying to be like Ngizwe. She thought by criticizing the president, she'll become relevant again. She is actually playing with fire. I also don't support what happened in #PhoenixMassacre surely the president cannot condone such acts. Uzoboshelwa ukuphapha"
"Amanda Black thought that the best way to sell her new album is to insult the president and accuse him of murder, She's dom"
"Stop being stupid, Amanda Black has been tweeting about current affairs way before her album drops. Politics is way above your room temperature IQ , stick to twaring with other catfish accounts"
"Amanda Black must be protected! By any means. The revolutionary spirit has got her. And many will be agitated by the truth she's uttering, uncontrollably so. Akazenzi ungokhethiweyo. It's her season. #AriseAmandaArise"
"I hope Amanda Black won't be targeted by Cyril Ramaphosa administration for speaking out the truth"
