Ron Wynn of AllMusic wrote, "A gifted British soul vocalist, Jaki Graham has seldom gotten the kind of songs that her great skills could turn into breakout hits. These are mostly disposable formula filler that she tries to elevate but can't, despite often stunning vocal treatments. She's a great producer away from being a star, and could certainly be a great disco diva with the right tracks."

From Now On was reissued digitally on 24 April 2009 through Parlophone Records.[3]
