AllMusicStarHalf star[2]

AllMusic editor John Lucas rated the album one and a half out of five stars. He wrote that "McCutcheon clearly has a great fondness for the material here, and she has a big, expressive voice, but unfortunately the pedestrian arrangements on this album render it another dull and unsatisfying effort. Also, the choice of material ranges from predictable to bizarre. Some bright spots save the record from being a complete waste of time."[2] Nick Reynolds from BBC Music found that Musicality was "frustrating". He felt that it was "refreshing to see Martine McCutcheon tackling Broadway standards and songs from the shows. She has professed her love of Barbra Streisand and Liza Minnelli, and must be applauded for having the courage to tackle this material [...] but the selection of songs is patchy, poorly sequenced and does not always play to Martine's strengths."[3]
