Critical reception

Justin Kantor from SoulTracks found that Vulnerable "flows fluidly with ten thoughtfully crafted songs that complement the singer’s graceful tenor tenacity with smart production values. His phrasing and nuances shines through, but the arrangements stand equally firm in their musicality. The set’s lead single, “Push” is, in fact, the only selection that bends considerably to current trends—and it does so in a way that doesn’t compromise melodic or lyrical quality." [3]
