Lennox Samuels of The Dallas Morning News called Abstract Emotions "a solid, sensual album of R&B-pop material ... the mostly mid- to up-tempo tunes give the LP an upbeat tone, though Crawford also does well with slower songs." [8] Ken Tucker of The Philadelphia Inquirer praised the album, saying that "Crawford sings a series of tart pop songs about love gone wrong that neatly avoids self-pity or facile despair." [7]
Ron Wynn of AllMusic noted that "Randy Crawford continued her run of good '80s albums ... with this 1986 release". [6]
