He wrote that "Face the Music" is "another set of  sophisticated, adult-oriented R&B that occasionally veers into boilerplate belligerence without quite reaching "Break Ya Back" territory [...] Altogether, it's a pleasing, natural continuation, full of slow grooves that tend to be convincingly romantic."
