In his review for AllMusic, Scott Yanow wrote that Droppin' Things "solidified her [Carter's] credentials as one of jazz's top singers", and described the music as "consistently stimulating".[3]
Frank John-Hadley wrote in his Downbeat review that Droppin' Things "showcases an unerringly precise, lucent alto voice—one of the most instantly recognizable in jazz- taking the risks of an especially creative instrumentalist".[2] He gave the album 4 stars.[2]
