Critical reception
Stephen Thomas Erlewine of Allmusic rated the album three stars out of five, describing Coffey as "a more approachable Faith Hill— her polished country-pop is every bit as urbane, yet it doesn't feel as glamorous."{{cite web|url={{AllMusic|class=album|id=r589730|pure_url=yes}}|title=When You Lie Next to Me review|last=Erlewine|first=Stephen Thomas|work=Allmusic|accessdate=February 8, 2010}} Country Standard Time reviewer Jeffrey B. Remz compared her vocals to those of Sara Evans, saying that Coffey's voice was "strong [and] full-bodied" but added that he thought the album lacked a sense of identity.{{cite web|url=http://www.countrystandardtime.com/d/cdreview.asp?xid=1633|title=When You Lie Next to Me review|last=Remz|first=Jeffrey B.|work=Country Standard Time|accessdate=February 8, 2010}} Ray Waddell of Billboard gave it a mostly favorable review, praising Coffey's vocals, although he did note "Whatever It Takes" and the "Breathe-wannabe" title track as unmemorable. He ended his review by saying, "Producer Dann Huff paints a vibrant sonic picture, and Coffey definitely has the goods, particularly when she's allowed to take a chance here and there."{{Cite magazine |last=Waddell |first=Ray |date=May 18, 2002 |editor-last=Paoletta |editor-first=Michael |title=Reviews & Previews: Albums - Kellie Coffey: When You Lie Next to Me |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=Mg8EAAAAMBAJ&q=Kellie+Coffey |access-date=June 19, 2024 |magazine=Billboard |publisher=Nielsen Business Media |page=21 |volume=114 |issue=20 |issn=0006-2510}}
