AllMusic's Jason Birchmeier praised the various genre styles heard throughout the album and being reminiscent of an up-and-coming Pink, concluding that "At only 16 years of age, Shiloh has plenty of time to develop not only her songwriting but also her persona, and it will be interesting to see what comes of her in the future, for she definitely has the makings of a punk-pop superstar. In any event, she's off to a promising start with Picture Imperfect, a likable album with lots of hit material."
