Alex Henderson of AllMusic said, "Golson handles most of the LP's horn and string arrangements, but his jazz background doesn't make its presence felt—not even in a subtle way. Graham hired Golson to co-produce an R&B project, and he did what he was paid to do. My Radio Sure Sounds Good to Me isn't GCS' most essential album, but it's a solid effort that is easily recommended to anyone with a taste for gutsy, horn-powered 1970s funk."[2]
Paul McGrath of The Globe and Mail wrote, "Graham's lengthy commitment to good music disguised as silly froth continues with My Radio Sure Sounds Good to Me, a collection of tunes for all types of dancers, which avoids both ponderous preaching and the predictable homogenized disco beat."[3]
