AllMusic[3]

AllMusic editor Thom Jurek rated the album three stars out of five. He wrote that "there are some fine tracks here that move beyond Richardson's trademarked, well-traveled Southern soul revivalism. Some of the more urban AC offerings here are oriented for the summer dancefloor season [...] In sum, the pluses on America's Most Wanted outnumber the minuses and Richardson's profile should rise as a result."[3]
