Allmusic editor Alex Henderson found that Just for You "is a decent R&B/pop effort that, although not in a class with Knight's classic
Motown and
Buddha recordings with the Pips, has more strengths than weaknesses. The singer's voice had held up impressively well over the years, and she uses it advantageously on a superb cover of
The Impressions' 1969 classic "
Choice of Colors" (clearly the highlight of the CD), as well as such memorable offerings as the gospel-influenced "Guilty" (a commentary on racism and sexism that makes its point without preaching) and the stirring ballad "Home Alone." The CD isn't essential, but it's generally honest, well-executed and satisfying."[1]
