At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, Exposed has an average score of 66 based on 4 reviews, indicating "generally favorable reviews."[3] In the December 30, 2000 issue of Billboard, contributor David Nathan listed Exposed at number three on his Critic's Choice list. Nathan expressed, 'long-awaited mainstream breakthrough album shows she can compete with the best of 'em'.[7] Steve Kurutz from Allmusic stated that "Exposed, which was executive produced by Dupri and recorded mainly in Atlanta [...] makes a bid to capture some of that trademark funkiness. Moore has a great set of pipes, a mix of the throaty take charge style of Toni Braxton and the soft vulnerability of Janet Jackson, an undeniable sexiness, and a real emotional conviction that lends the songs an authenticity absent in many current releases."[1]
