Jonathan Lewis from AllMusic said “’’String of Pearls’’ ranges from the melodic pop of the most successful single "It's Only the Beginning" to the rock of "Under My Skin." Much of the rest of the album is acoustic pop and gentle ballads, with the superb "Release Me" being the best example. Conway's voice is what holds the album together. Her voice is strong and suited to these songs. In the hands of a lesser singer String of Pearls would not have been anywhere near as effective. Instead, Conway manages to cover the slight lack of originality in songwriting by her strong presence and produces a memorable set of songs.
