AllMusic editor Stephen Thomas Erlewine rated the album four out of five stars and ranked it "among Pebbles' most consistent efforts."[1] He found that on With Straight from the Heart "Pebbles attempts to fit into the sound of the mid-'90s and the results are surprisingly successful." He noted that the album was "more of a showcase for her producers than the singer herself. Featuring elements of jazz, funk, and hip-hop, the record is a diverse and soulful catalog of contemporary R&B; even when the songwriting is weak, the record sounds first-rate."[1] Entertainment WeeklyTemplate:'s David Thigpen wrote that "past the clichéd album title [...] you'll find satisfying grooves and a few killer love songs, all polished to a high gloss and carried along on Pebbles' seductive whispers and wails [...] Straight from My Heart serves as a declaration of her independence."[2]
