Andy Kellman from AllMusic found that Dress to Impress features Sweat's "best round of songs in well over a decade," focusing on "romance and emotional connection. The album sounds fresh while drawing from numerous eras, just as the Sweat Hotel playlist roams from decade to decade [...] With its stream-fishing quantity of songs notwithstanding — 16 cuts, well over an hour in duration — Dress to Impress fulfills its intent." ^[1] The Knoxville News Sentinel wrote that "there's nothing remotely creative about Keith Sweat's monochromatic new Dress to Impress, and the veteran R&B singer sounds like he's on autopilot through most of the 16 songs. And yet despite the perfunctory feel of the music and the endless clichéd lyrics that are so obvious they could be a parody, Dress to Impress accomplishes its mission." ^[2]

Commercial performance

Sweat's first album in five years, Dress to Impress debuted and peaked at number 34 on the US Billboard 200. ^[3] The album also opened at number three on the Independent Albums and number six on the US Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums, becoming his twelfth studio album to enter latter chart. ^{[4] [5]}
