Allmusic editor Andy Kellman found that Fall for You offers "with an impressive synthesis of classic and contemporary sounds. The blend of styles [...] is made evident immediately, with lead song "Who's Gonna Love You More" opening with a buzzing synthesizer quickly offset by a typically gutsy and assertive vocal from James [...] While the percentage of excellent material isn't as high as it is on James' two previous albums, Fall for You is an engaging release with some pleasingly unaffected twists."
