AllMusic called Let Me Be Good to You "an above-average album that did much better than anyone thought it would at the time." [5] The Bay State Banner thought that the album "again proves what a fine ballad and soul singer Rawls is," writing that "including one disastrous message song is the only thing that keeps this lp from being a complete triumph."
