JT Griffith of AllMusic believed "The album's focus is of a jazz crooner nature, not a swinging one. There is not a single tongue-in-cheek note on Always You, rather every song fits into that Jackie Gleason genre of heart-felt sentiment similar to Music to Make You Misty or Songs for Young Lovers. Standout tracks include "Strange Music," "Always You," and "You're Breaking My Heart."
Billboard stated the "Selections" of songs throughtout the album, "all wrapped up in a rich, feelingful baritone, include 'The Lamp Is Low", "Strange Music," "The Breeze and I," and other poignant oldies.
Cashbox states that Goulet "BaritoneâÂÂs typically legit voice has excellent range and pitch in 'And This Is My Beloved', 'ItâÂÂs All In The Game', and 'Always You'."
Variety notes Goulet's "baritone style is legit and strong and taliormade for the repertoire that includes such hefty items as 'Strange Music' and 'The Lamp is Low'.' Both The Encyclopedia of Popular Music and AllMusic gave the album a three-star rating as well.
