Critical reception

Ashleigh Kittle of AllMusic has reviewed Same Girl and said that "it is characteristic of her work during the mid- to late 1980s. She carefully blends a combination of inspirational CCM and praise and worship to create a project that contains its upbeat moments, yet doesn't quite fit the CCM or adult contemporary mold."
