Andy Kellman at AllMusic said, "Wilson offers lush and expressive R&B [that should] disarm skeptics from both sides of the pointless jazz/R&B divide," and that the album "should not have been out of print for so long."[1]
Come Get to This reached No. 14 on Billboard's Soul chart[3] and No. 119 on the Billboard 200.[4]
In 2011, SoulMusic Records released a digitally remastered version of the album, paired with All in Love Is Fair, Wilson's previous album, which was also produced by Gene Page.[5]
