Albert Ranner from CDstarts.de found that with Best Kept Secret, Paige "should be able to get herself somewhat back into the conversation, even if many parts are reminiscent of artists like Delta Goodrem or Natalie Imbruglia. That doesn't make Best Kept Secret a bad album, though." [2] laut.de editor Artur Schulz rated the album two ouf of five stars. He wrote: "All in all, there's too little that truly stands out in Best Kept Secret. A small handful of thoroughly successful tracks are outweighed by too much mediocrity. It's not a bad album — but it's not a consistently strong one either. Jennifer Paige's voice and artistic presence clearly deserve a more high-quality setting. Above all, producers should refrain from overloading Jennifer's clear, powerful, and expressive voice with excessive sonic clutter." [1]
