A second single, "Lunch or Dinner" was released in September 2001.
AllMusic editor Jon Azpiri wrote that "while too many pop and R&B divas rely on Mariah Carey -like vocal histrionics, Sunshine Anderson wins over fans with her understated maturity [...] Your Woman features some solid production by Mike City and Mark Spark, and rather than trying to overpower the music with her voice, Anderson has enough confidence to just go along for the ride."[ 1] Blender Mike City , though, the album never surpasses its jaunty first single [...] By mid-album, the arrangements peter out into a redundant bounce of piano and drum over which Anderson launches into Mariah -like vocal runs. Yet graceful melodies like "Lunch and Dinner" suggest a burgeoning singer who might well blossom into her own diva someday soon."[ 2]
