Reception
In a 3 out of 5 star review, Dave Simpson of The Guardian referred to the album as "a heartfelt comeback" that "makes it seem as if she never went away" and added that "the glossy pop-soul production is as catchy as her smashes" but that several songs "would be self-help manual material if they weren’t so passionately, sincerely sung". He concluded by explaining that "while more grit in the butter wouldn’t have gone amiss, Under My Skin returns to the sound that made Gabrielle famous".
