Matthew Chisling of AllMusic stated that the record was a strong effort where "...every single track individually is strong, and the best moments on the album are stronger than anything Kelly Clarkson ever recorded. With any luck, Broken and Beautiful will be a commercial success and McNeil will become the household name she deserves to be." [4]
