With a 4.5 out of 5 star rating, Ron Wynn of AllMusic stated that With My Love Beside Me is a "superbly arranged, "produced," and mastered session from a wonderful vocalist. Wilson's singing, delivery, and tone are enticing. And sensual throughout, even when the songs threaten——to get overly sentimental. Or just sappy".
