Stephen Thomas Erlewine of AllMusic described the album as an "immaculately produced collection of modern mature pop", but felt the album concentrated too much on "sonic texture" rather than the songwriting. He concluded: "It's easy to admire the craft behind the production and the subtle songwriting, even if the songs don't work their way into  your subconscious." Tom Roland of "The Tennessean" wrote: "Kershaw delivers "15 Minutes" with a Brit boy-next-door disposition and a bed of guitars, in a swirl of restrained, midtempo pop." Dana Tofig of the "Hartford Courant" commented: "Kershaw has put out a new album that testifies he should have received much more time in the spotlight. "15 Minutes", although inconsistent, is filled with catchy pop songs that stand out with brilliant hooks and a touch of oddness."
