| AllMusic |   [3] |
| Pitchfork | 7.6/10 [1] |
Brady Brickner-Wood of Pitchfork wrote that the album "fine-tunes her collaborative chemistry with Hitmaka and further establishes the pair as one of R&B's premier singer–producer teams. The album seamlessly flits between steamy slow jams and pristine pop songs, its architecture indebted to the opulence of '90s R&B". [1] Andy Kellner of AllMusic described Pillow Talk as "another high-luster set of ballads and slow jams" and "expectedly rich with openhearted musings and uninhibited carnality, yet Tink's expressions here—finely accentuated by some of her loveliest background vocals—have a slightly deeper resonance".
