Critical reception
| rev1 = AllMusic | rev1Score = | rev2 = Vibe | rev2Score =
Allmusic editor Alex Henderson found that Powell continues "to improve and grow. It isn't that JP is a departure from his two previous albums, Jesse Powell (1995) and 'Bout It (1998) – Powell's specialty is still romantic urban contemporary, and even though a few of the tunes are mildly funky, ballads and slow jams are what ultimately define JP. The thing that makes JP a step forward for the neo-soulster is the quality of the writing [..,] Powell, however, has genuine talent. The Midwesterner has an impressive range (four octaves, to be exact), and his attractive phrasing sometimes reminds you of former Klique vocalist Howard Huntsberry. Again, JP isn't a masterpiece, but it's an enjoyable step forward for Powell."
