Critical reception
Writing for BroadwayWorld, Amanda Prahl wrote "The excellent rise and flow of the first half of the album is chilled a little by the end, which is a pity. Even with these minor missteps, Back Together is mostly an enjoyable experience by two very distinctive, very talented singers of today."[1]
