AllMusic	[1]

AllMusic editor Stephen Thomas Erlewine found that "even though the album is not perfect, [Pendergrass] largely succeeds. The material on You and I is fairly uneven, but the best moments on the album, including "Let's Talk About It" and the title track, demonstrate that Pendergrass still has the ability to create richly seductive urban soul. It's his best album in years."^[1]
