In his review for AllMusic, David Jeffries called Gerald's World "another Gerald Levert album – nothing less, nothing more [...] On Gerald's World, he's as smooth and as sweet-talkin' as ever. But there's something automatic about it all, a sense of security with the persona and legend he's built over the years. LeVert still may have a bedroom voice, but more often than not here, he seems about ready to call it a night."^[1] Blender critic Will Bourne found that "Levert’s panty-dropping baritone is more than up to the fight. Imploring and, when that fails, outright begging the object of his affection to submit to his relentlessly polished soul charms, he’s clearly unwilling to take no for an answer. The old goat."^[2]
