Jose F. Promis from AllMusic called Think Like a Girl a "well-crafted, diverse set of soul/pop/reggae that merited much more attention it received. The album contains several ultra catchy songs that have hit written all over them, namely the infectious title track and "Wicked" [...] Think Like a Girl does tend to wane towards the end, but, overall, this is a surprisingly well-crafted and engaging set, and only hints at what is to come for the talented and extremely photogenic Diana King."
Commercial performance
Think Like a Girl reached number one on the US Billboard Top Reggae Albums chart. In Japan, it peaked at number seven on the Japanese Albums Chart and was eventually certified Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of Japan (RIAJ).
