AllMusic

AllMusic editor Andy Kellman described Never Forget My Love as Stone's "most R&B-oriented set of original material since Introducing Joss Stone As with that 2011 full-length, these songs come across as deliberately crafted in a way that differentiates them from the much greater volume of comparatively off-the-cuff material in Stone's catalog. The singer sounds more comfortable than she has in some time, whether she's referencing prime Burt Bacharach (with whom Stone performed in 2019), classic Memphis soul, or the Staple Singers, or bringing to mind a cross between Betty Wright and Bill Withers (specifically on the title song, a highlight). For the most part, this is full-tilt Stone – a delight for those who want to hear her let it all out, even when the song doesn't necessarily call for it."
