| AllMusic |    [4] |
| The Encyclopedia of Popular Music | [5] |
| Entertainment Weekly | C–[6] |
Trouser Press wrote that "Higher Power finds Jones and company operating at a decidedly lower level ... The hip dance-music sounds are there, but the tunes most certainly aren't."[7] Entertainment Weekly thought that the album "continues Jones' bid for currency by experimenting with the sounds of London's dance clubs ... The result is neither good rave nor good rock."[8]
