At Metacritic, which assigns a weighted average rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream publications, this release received an average score of 54 based on 11 reviews. In a review for AllMusic, critic reviewer Stephen Thomas Erlewine wrote: "Nevertheless, as a record - as a series of expertly produced, expertly recorded adult pop tunes - Daniel Powter is a debut that's easy to enjoy, thanks to Powter's melodic skills and sweet voice." At Rolling Stone, Barry Walters said: "Lacking the star personality of a Robbie Williams or the wit of a Ben Folds, Powter doesn't rise above his instantly familiar keyboard riffs, yet neither does he drown in them. Instead he rides the hooks that propelled "Bad Day" from its background use in American Idol to the charts, while producer Mitchell Froom supplies the ear candy."
