==Critical Reception==
Upon its release, Need You Now received generally mixed reviews from music critics.
At Metacritic, the album received an average score of 63, based on 9 reviews, which indicates "generally favorable reviews."
Giving it four stars out of five, Jessica Phillips wrote in Country Weekly magazine that the group "certainly need have no fear of a sophomore slump" due to the success of "Need You Now".
She also said that the album showed the trio's "ability to craft memorable country pop hooks," but added that "not every song works on this record."
Crystal Bell (writing for Billboard) was also positive in her review citing Kelley's vocal slyness and the delicate arrangement of the track, "Ready to Love Again", also noting "the trio's musical growth."
Allmusic reviewer Thom Jurek wrote that on this album "they stick very close to the formula of their debut: a slew of mid- and uptempo love songs, a sad ballad, and a couple of rocked-up good-time tunes — all self-written with some help from some of Nashville's most respected writers." He also went on to say that the album was "flawless in its songwriting, production, and performances."
Mikael Wood of Entertainment Weekly said, "they're most successful when they keep to the moody minor key stuff" and gave the album a B+.
Jonathan Keefe of Slant Magazine was less positive.
Allegations that the song stole from The Alan Parsons Project's song 'Eye in the Sky' have been widespread online, and representatives for Parsons commented.
