In a retrospective review for Allmusic, critic William Ruhlmann wrote of the album "The decision to add Barry Beckett as co-producer with Phil Ramone helped add an R&B depth and fervor, but Against the Grain was just a more impassioned effort than its predecessor."^[1] Robert Christgau wrote of the album; "this time she dies on the non-originals... Paul McCartney's "Every Night" shows up the hooklessness of almost everything else."^[2]
