In a review of the album on AllMusic, Dave Thompson says that it is a "highlight within Sony's already impressive Bill Withers reissue campaign" and that it "is no substitute for the full Withers experience, but anyone seeking a well-rounded introduction to the man, or fans who just want something to spin in the car, will find Lovely Day an indispensable summary."
