The Los Angeles Times called "Crazy Over You" "a slow-drag '50s-sounding ballad that Jackie Wilson would've had a ball recording."^[12] The Washington Post opined that "Abbott's at his best with slow, swaying ballads like 'Unfinished Business', but the overall effect is ignorable."^[14] USA Today deemed Abbott "a minor talent marketed like a superstar, and his everyman voice does little more than highlight his mediocre original material."^[8]

The Christian Science Monitor stated that Abbott "throws in a couple of '50s-style rhythm-and-blues numbers, where he lets loose his Smokey Robinson falsetto."^[7] The Philadelphia Inquirer determined that Abbott's "material is weak and repetitive, but his singing is still strong and confident."^[13]

AllMusic wrote that the album "finds the vocalist in the same vein as his previous effort; merging '80s music technology with '50s doowop/early-'60s soul-tinged sensibility."^[10]
