With a 3 out of 5 star rating, Alex Henderson of AllMusic wrote "Naked and True often sounds dated, but dated in a good sense — if you consider the late '70s and early '80s a great period for R&B, you'll find a lot to like about this enjoyable, if less than essential, CD."

## Singles

Crawford's cover of "Give Me the Night" reached number 9 on the UK Dance Singles chart and No. 14 on the US Billboard Adult R&B Songs chart. Another cover, this of "Cajun Moon", reached number 26 on the US Billboard Adult R&B Songs chart. Her rendition of "Forget Me Nots" reached No. 35 on the UK R&B Singles chart.
