Critical reception
Ahead of the album's release, Renowned for Sound published a five-star review which praised Henderson's time on The X Factor Australia as being "the most versatile and well-rounded contestant on the show".{{Cite web|url=http://renownedforsound.com/index.php/album-review-taylor-henderson-taylor-henderson/|title = Album Review: Taylor Henderson – Taylor Henderson – Renowned for Sound| date=29 November 2013 }} The article states about the album and Henderson's performance: "Taylor Henderson has a voice that you can’t help but want to listen to, no matter what he’s singing. Part of what makes him so exceptional is that his voice always has the right tone for the right song, and doesn’t make the mistake of over-singing like so many others".
